Magical usage/Harvesting
The shell of this beast is very valuable
and rare. On its own without any magic
or additional ingredients it can be used
to craft strong pieces of armor or
weapons. Many tribes hunt them during
Aelgo to get good equipment.
For magical purposes however, this shell
can be used for sturdy equipment such
as a Ring of Resistance or a Spellguard
Shield. Furthermore it can be used as
components for any resistance spells or
a Potion of Invulnerability even.
To obtain the item will be difficult, due
to the difficulty in finding them even
during Aelgo time.
