Dragon kiteshield

The Dragon Kiteshield is a possible item that can be looted from the rewards chest of the Queen Black Dragon, after putting her back to sleep. The dragon kiteshield is slightly better than the dragon square shield, with a +2 greater stab and slash defence bonus, +5 greater crush defense bonus and a +1 greater magic, ranged and summoning defence bonus. It can also be preferred over the square shield because the Square Shield requires Legend's Quest to be completed.

Trivia

 * The shield's unplanned release was first confirmed definitively in a post by Mod Adj on Jagex's Youtube channel in the summer of 2010. However, the post emphasized that it would not be added until an ideal method of releasing it was developed.
 * Toykite.png sold in Draynor Village.]]The dragon kiteshield has been requested and talked of by players since the introduction of dragon equipment. Jagex referenced this through an April Fools joke on 1 April 2008, during which Diango was said to be selling "dragon kites," a slang term often applied to dragon kiteshields. When Diango was spoken to, it was revealed that these were in fact toy kites bearing a dragon symbol. Diango went on to say that the kites had been ordered a year before their arrival in Draynor Village, but that they had been stolen by someone that had taken the shipment's label, "Dragon Kites," to mean that they were actual shields.
 * Originally the individual images of dragon square shield right and left halves combined would have resembled a kiteshield rather thans as square shield. Jagex later updated the item's images after players noticed this. The symbol on the old dragon sq shield strongly resembles the symbol on the Toy kite.
 * The term "dragon kiteshield" has also been applied by players to heraldic rune kiteshields bearing a dragon crest. These are made of runite, however, rather than dragon.
 * An anagram of dragon kiteshield, "a soldiered knight", was mentioned during thes Chaos Elemental Letter 16, hinting that it may be dropped by the future Queen Black Dragon, which was confirmed in the May 2012 Behind the Scenes.
 * With the release of the Queen Black Dragon, the Dragon Kiteshield came as a specifics drop of the Queen on 29 May 2012.
 * On the day of release, the dragon kiteshield had an initial Grand Exchange price of 800,000 coins. However, the shield, like all newly introduced items, was being sold for a much greater price.
