The '''Bottlenose buckler''' is a shield in {{Dragon Quest VII}}.

==Characteristics==
The bottlenose buckler is a rhombus-shaped shield designed to resemble a dolphin. The shield has a silver border and the center is divided into two sections, with the top section coloured blue and the lower section being an ivory colour. It is designed to protect the wielder from either aquatic-themed attacks or ice-elemental damage. In the English version, the shield is named after the [[Wikipedia:Bottlenose dolphin|bottlenose dolphin]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ7}}===
The Bottlenose buckler has a {{Defence}} and {{Style}} bonus of +28, reduces damage taken from [[Tidal Wave]] by 30, and can only be equipped by the {{Hero 7}} and [[Aishe]]. It can be purchased as a prize from the [[Casino]] at [[Pilgrim's Rest]] for 5,000 tokens and sold for 600 gold. If a character is equipped with both the bottlenose buckler and the [[Sea Serpent Sabre]] when being graded for the Best Dressed contest of the [[Excellence Grading Organisation]] in [[El Ciclo]], they will receive an extra +10 bonus to Style.
* Due to the removal of Maelstrom from the Nintendo 3DS version, the bottlenose buckler instead reduces damage taken from [[Maelstrom]] and [[Jolly Rager]] by 30. Additionally, one can be found in the [[Nottagen|Nottagen Region]] in the past in a treasure chest outside of the [[Pillar of Sulkk]]. Bottlenose buckler can be received as a reward by clearing a custom [[Traveller's Tablet]] with a [[Croaked king]] as the boss.
