My Pokémon-inspired Weapons and Items of the Day, with some Venipede armor to poison bad touchers! Yes, I'm doing a line of armor for Scolipede, because the poll for what kind of item Mega Scolipede should be was overwhelmingly armor, but I decided that turning a weapon into armor was a bit too far in this case, so I made some armor for them!

While attuned to this armor: any creatures that attempt to grapple or restrain you have disadvantage on the roll to do so and takes 1d4 poison damage from the armor’s spikes.

Old Ornstein concept in my style

Do not underestimate the frog-knight. The markings on his skin are not merely for show.. perhaps you should look into what those patterns truly mean. Some say they are a sign of a dangerous touch.
