The dark shield is a recurring shield in the Dragon Quest series, first introduced in Dragon Quest V. When it first appeared, it was a shield designed specifically for monster companions, but in modern games, it became a jet-black coloured version of the ogre shield.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride[edit]

The dark shield has a defence bonus of +37, but can only be equipped by certain monster companions. It casts Absorb Magic when used as a tool in battle. One can be found in the basement of Talon Tower and it can be dropped by hyperanemons. It can be sold for 4,900 gold.
