Iban's dove is an item used in the later stages of the Underground Pass quest. It is obtained by searching cages of half-soulless deep in the dungeon west of West Ardougne.

It is wise for anyone doing the Underground Pass quest to remember to wear their Klank's gauntlets while searching the cages of the soulless. They will bite players who searching the cages, however, if the player is wearing the gauntlets, the player will take no damage. Searching the cages without wearing the gloves will result in losing 10 hitpoints.

The dove's skeletal remains are crushed and rubbed in the doll of Iban obtained earlier in the quest in order to destroy the evil wizard Iban, who might be son of Zamorak.

Note: For souvenir collectors, it should be noted that the item will automatically be used if the player has the doll within their inventory. If the player simply drops the doll and searches the cage with the dove's remains, they will instead receive the item.

The Dove symbolizes Iban's conscience, the innocence he had as a man corrupted by evil. The witch responsible for his return owned a beautiful dove, which she strangled with her own hands to provide the proper "conscience" for the ritual, after blood, body, and shadow.

Since the release of Song of the Elves on July 25, 2019, it is automatically added to the doll of Iban should the doll be present in the player's inventory. Additionally, unlike Iban's ashes and Iban's shadow, the message of it being automatically used cannot be seen within the chatbox.
