Description
A zorbo is a carnivorous beast that likes humanoid flesh. A zorbo can temporarily absorb the natural armor class of items in its surroundings, gaining protection as if it were covered by the hardness of wood, metal, or stone. A zorbo can also gain the protection and defensive bonuses of a protective item worn by an opponent that it strikes, such as armor, shield, or magic item; this item turns into dust.
