A dragon kiteshield is a kiteshield made by combining a dragon sq shield, dragon metal shard, and dragon metal slice at the Dragon Forge after the completion of Dragon Slayer II. This process requires a hammer and 75 Smithing, granting 1,000 Smithing experience. The dragon kiteshield does not require Legends' Quest to wield, despite being created from the dragon sq shield. Like other Dragon equipment, it requires 60 Defence to wield.

Just like the dragon sq shield, the dragon kiteshield does not protect against Dragonfire.

Players can attach a dragon kiteshield ornament kit, obtained from master clue scrolls, to create a gold-trimmed dragon kiteshield (g). This is only cosmetic, and does not affect the kiteshield's stat bonuses. It can be dismantled, returning the kiteshield and ornament kit.
