Metal king armour is a recurring suit of armour in the Dragon Quest series. It is frequently the most powerful suit of armour in the games it appears, boasting an incredible amount of defence and in most games provides protection against either magic or elemental damage. It is decorated with an emblem of a Metal king slime.

The metal king armour has a defence bonus of +95. It does not offer any magic protection in this game, only raising physical defense. It can be equipped by Hero (Dragon Quest V), Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V) and Tuppence. It can also be equipped by several monsters. It can be found on the third floor in the optional Estark dungeon. There is also a 1/256 chance that a Metal dragon will drop it upon defeat. It can be sold for 11,250G in the original version of the game、7,500G in the remakes.

The armour can be equipped by the Hero, Carver, Nevan, Amos, Terry, Lizzie, and the slime recruits. It can be purchased at the Greedmore Valley Casino for 150,000 tokens. It cannot be sold to any shop.
