- Encyclopedia entry

"Born in the 'Whirligig' anomaly. It is a rather ugly reddish formation from compacted and curved polymerized remains of plants, soil and bones. Pretty common and weakly effective. Initially, it did not show properties. Later it turned out that the artifact interacts with the wearer's skin and absorbs some of the shockwaves during explosions. Emits radiation."
