The Shield of Ziegel is a weapon used by Vilgax.
Appearence
The Shield of Ziegal is a golden gauntlet that Vilgax wore on his left hand, mounted with a yellow gem.
History
Alien Force
In Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 2, Vilgax used the Shield of Ziegal as a taser, allowing him to touch and shock an intangible Big Chill.
In Ghost Town, Vilgax used it in the same way when he fought Zs'Skayr.
In The Final Battle: Part 2, Vilgax lost the Shield of Ziegel after transforming himself into his giant squid like form.
Ultimate Alien
The Shield of Ziegel (and Vilgax's other weapons) return in The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2, when Vilgax is returned to his normal form. How his armor and weapons returned is unknown.
Use
The gem is able to generate a powerful personal force field to protect its user.
The force field can become a knight-like shield on the arm or a dome/sphere to protect the user's whole body, and is able to defend them from attacks such as Ultimos' punches, Jetray's neuroshock blasts, or the guns of a large spaceship. It was also able to cut clean through that same spaceship.
Weaknesses
The Shield of Ziegal can be shattered by Diamondhead's exploding crystal shards.
