The Iron shield is a recurring shield in the Dragon Quest series. It is a mid-level shield that sometimes offers protection against fire and ice attacks.
Characteristics[edit]
The Iron shield is a heater shield made out of forged iron plates with a gold border and featuring a gold coat of arms on the front. In the first game, the coat of arms on the front of shield is a long dragon with a head at each end flanked by two feathered wings. Starting with Dragon Quest III, the coat of arms changed to a symmetrical golden eagle with two heads and has remained the same ever since. From the third game to Dragon Quest VII, the eagle also had a red cross on it, as well. Starting with Dragon Quest X, the shield's border and coat of arms were changed to a silver colour while the old design would be used for the steel shield instead.
The Iron shield is quite protective for its price, particular in the original Dragon Quest as it offers the most defence next to the silver shield. However, due to its heavy weight, it can usually only be equipped by physically powerful characters, being reclassified as a greatshield starting with X in order to reflect this. In later games, the shield also offers some protection against fire and ice breath attacks. It has appeared in every main entry in the series except for Dragon Quest II.
