- Amphibious: You can breathe air and water.
- Natural Heavy Armor: You have a hard shell that protects you from attacks. Your natural armor is considered heavy Constitutionheavy armor does not have a Strength requirement, but you still have disadvantage on all Dexterity (Stealth) checks. You do not gain any benefits of wearing armor. A shield's benefits apply as normal while using your natural armor.
- Defensive Stance: While in combat, you can retreat into your shell to increase your defense. As a reaction, you retreat into your shell, and you gain +4 to your AC. You can still hold an item in each hand, but cannot use items that require two hands. Additionally, your speed drops to 5 feet, you cannot use reactions, and on your turn, you can only take one action or a bonus action, not both. Regardless of any other abilities or magic items, you cannot make more than one melee or ranged attack during your turn. You can use a bonus action to come out of your shell.
