Dragon Turtle Barding (Patreon)

Armor (any heavy barding), very rare

This heavy armor is made using salvaged pieces of a dragon turtle's shell and can fit on a variety of common mounts. Once worn, the armor expands over the course of 1 hour to cover the creature with a defensive shell and enhance its natural abilities, granting it the following benefits:

• The creature gains a +1 bonus AC.
• The creature can breathe air and water.
• The creature gains a swimming speed equal to its walking or flying speed, whichever is higher.

The pegasus riders of Orostead were renowned for their prowess over the the land and sky, so the neighboring merrow thought they were safe to plunder the city's rich harbors.

When the winged horses plunged through the waves and into the harbor's depths, the merrow realized just how wrong they were.
