Sharkskin armor

Sharkskin armor was a type of armor used on Toril.

Description
Sharkskin armor was a type of armour made from the treated skin of sharks. It was first developed by aquatic elves. Sharkskin armor was tougher than leather armor but similar in appearance. The sharp scales of the sharkskin remained attached to the outer surface of the armor and shark teeth were often embedded along the forearms, shoulder and legs. These could be used to break from rope bonds or to deal more damage in combat.

Most aquatic elves didn't wear sharkskin armor, due to their strong dislike of sharks. Silkies wore sharkskin armor and carried sharkskin shields.
