| A miniature battlement, carved from a piece of shell. Transforms the user into a heavily armoured crab, fusing whatever body armour they are wearing into the shell in the process. In this form, they are slow-moving, but well-defended and even capable of wielding a weapon in their large main claw. They can also breathe clouds of rust at the cost of their own HP, which corrode and weaken enemies. |
