Mundane Shell

A bereaved enchanter crafted this odd shield from the shell of his favorite pet, Gorgamoth. The tortoise had served as the enchanter's best companion and finest test subject for over two centuries. Gorgamoth was ideal in his role as a wizard's pet. He never complained and seemed to hold the world, and everyone in it, in the same contempt as his master. Gorgamoth was also inexplicably resistant to the enchanter's spellcraft, shrugging off even the most powerful spells. This quality saved the tortoise from many of the enchanter's raging tirades or more misguided experiments. When the surly old beast finally succumbed to age, the enchanter found himself alone. Not one to wallow in his grief, he decided to turn Gorgamoth's carcass into something useful.
