The '''Metal King Shield''' is a recurring shield in the ''Dragon Quest'' series which first appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest V]]''. As one could guess by the name, it is as durable as [[Metal king slime|metal king slimes]] and features one directly in its center. It is often one of the most protective shields in the game.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
The metal king shield has a defence bonus of +70, and reduces the accuracy of [[Snooze]], [[Fuddle]], [[Dazzle]], and [[Whack|instant death]] instead of providing protection against magic or breath attacks. It can be acquired in exchange for 43 [[Mini medal|mini medals]] (50 in the remakes) at the [[Medal King's Palace]]., and can be equipped by the {{Hero 5}}, [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|his son]], [[Sancho]], [[Tuppence]], and several monster recruits.

==={{DQ6}}===
The metal king shield has +70 defense and +40 style. It also reduces [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], [[Bang]], and breath damage by 30. The [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|Hero]], [[Carver]], [[Milly]], [[Nevan]], [[Terry]], [[Amos]] and all slime allies can equip it. It is obtained as a reward for beating the Expert class in the Arena in [[Slimopolis]]. Since this class can be challenged only twice, it is possible to obtain only two metal king shields.

==={{DQ7}}===
The shield possesses the same attributes as in the previous game, and is the reward for amassing 90 mini medals. It can be equipped by all characters save for [[Maribel]]. In the original Sony PlayStation version, it was possible to buy an unlimited amount of shields if the player evolved the [[Immigrant Town (Dragon Quest VII)|Immigrant Town]] into the Premium Bazaar and could be purchased for 10,000 gold. In the Nintendo 3DS version, another metal king shield can be acquired for the first completion of the A Hero's Return [[DLC Tablet]].
* If the metal king shield is equipped along with the metal king sword, metal king armour, and metal king helm when being ranked for the Best Dressed Contest of the [[Excellence Grading Organisation]], they will provide an impressive '''+50''' bonus to style.

==={{DQ8}}===
The Metal King Shield has a defence bonus of +65 and reduces breath damage by 30 points. All characters can equip this shield and in the 3DS port the {{Hero 8}} can change his appearance if he wears it along with the rest of the metal slime equipment.

Recipe: Metal King Shield = [[Ruinous shield]] + [[Saint's ashes]] + [[Orichalcum]]
