The users has or can generate an innate armor as a part of their body, which is resistant to attacks, harm or pain and temperature extremes.

Limitations

- If one were to disrupt the process of "armoring up" the results would be user losing the ability to armor up for quite awhile.

- May sacrifice speed for durability.
- Reverting back to original form or natural state may be moderately difficult or irreversible.
