The 'weasel armor' reminds me that ADnD had plenty of swords +1/+3 vs whatever. But I don't recall any armor that worked that way. Maybe there should be.
It would destroy the sofa when you sat down however.
Do you know where the Lambton Worm image came from? I'd swear i read that as a kid, but i don't remember what it was.
No, sorry, I just did an 'image search' on Lambton Worm and that was one of the results. I also suspect that if you walked around in that spiky suit, you would pick up a lot of garbage, leaves, etc., on the spikes, which would interfere with the scary look you were going for. Porcupine armor.
The source from which I leaned it claimed it to be a bear hunting suit, though I'd suggest it is either incomplete or there is some special technique the wearer has of preventing the bear biting off you hands.
As to the others, is not truth a darn sight stranger than fiction? There are other extremely funky primitive armours out there of exotic materials, and weapons too. Someone needs to release an awesome stone age supplement that collects all the intriguing permutations there are out there of arms and armour made without metal.
Tom: Thank you for the amazing list! There are some really amazing things on your shopping list — hopefully the bear-suit gloves are just missing.
