Living breastplates are a type of symbiont formed of plates of hard, black chiton, with red veins and sinew pulsing beneath. They can understand Undercommon , and seek willing hosts with which to bond. The user must actually don the armor, at which point tendrils from the armor begin burrowing into the skin of the user. Once bonded, the living breastplate, like most symbionts, can then communicate with its host telepathically. Living breastplates act as living armor, protecting the host from harm. They also reduce the severity of injuries and can stabilize a host if they are wounded. They also increase the constitution of their hosts. Living breastplates are the traditional armor of the daelkyr . They are also considered holy relics by the Cults of the Dragon Below . [1]
