ScarabSkin
itemTight matte black armor fabric that drinks light like a void or pupil. Stops blades and some projectiles, worn over regular clothing.
ScarabSkin debuts in Golden Son as a practical matte black armor fabric that absorbs light and offers basic protection against blades and projectiles while layering easily over clothing. By Dark Age it has advanced into a high-tech adaptive stealth bodysuit equipped with ghostCloak distortion fields for true invisibility and the flexibility to stretch over cybernetic implants. This evolution mirrors the Red Rising Saga’s escalating technological arms race, transforming a defensive garment into a tool for covert operations and enhanced survivability across the later books.
