The Armor of Morphus started out as superior, reinforced leather armor (PROT 6) given to Philyra the centaur as a reward from a renowned blacksmith for saving his daughter. Philyra later found three "patches" that, when permanently affixed to the armor, increased the protection by three and added three points of Lack of Weakness. Later Philyra was granted a Wish by a genie and use it to ask that her armor be able to change form with her between human and centaur. This was prompted by her acquisition of a Pendant of Human Guise that allows her to assume human form simply by donning the pendant.
The properties of the Armor of Morphus are as follows:
- Armor - +3 Reinforced Leather Armor (PROT 9)
- Morph - The armor will automatically change form when the wearer does. The armor cannot shrink smaller than what might be worn by a brownie, but it can enlarge to fit even a titan should the wearer assume that form, though it will go no bigger.
- Armor Change - As a side effect of the morphing power of the armor, the wearer can change shape in any form. This can be done up to three times a day for an hour each. For example, the wearer might be running from someone and, when they get out of sight, they quickly (1 round) change their armor to appear to be chain mail (though PROT does not change).
- Spider Climb - This is also another side effect. The wearer can command the armor to send tendrils of itself to grasp into any porous surface, effectively allowing Spider Climb. This can be done up to three times a day for 30 minutes each.
- Saving Throws - The wearer gains a bonus of +15 to any saves vs attacks that change their form (flesh to stone, polymorph other, etc.).
