A Square shield is a type of shield equipped in a player's shield slot. Square shields can be smithed from all types of metals except for black, white*, and dragon which exist in the form of monster drops. Although square shields are less powerful than kiteshields, they are still used among players who find them fashionable, players who can't afford a kiteshield, and rarely by players using Magic. Many square shields can be bought in Cassie's Shield Shop in Falador, though it would be easier to use the Grand Exchange. A little-known fact about these shields is that they do not have a Magic defence penalty.
