Aapoph Granitescale
A mutated serpentfolk's hard gray plates can be sacrificed mid-fight, blunting a savage blow at the cost of weaker armor afterward.
The mutated aapophs dubbed granitescales have bulky frames covered in hard gray plates. These scales offer protection but shed when struck with too much force.
In play
