Armor of Talos

The Armor of Talos is a legendary suit of armour. Mal wears the suit's gauntlets.

The Armor
Talos Armor was forged from the body of the bronze titan after his death and fashioned to look like a Spartan warrior's armour. It can grant the wearer extreme strength, defence and the ability to channel large amounts of energy into attacks. The full suit consists of:


 * A Helmet
 * A Chestplate
 * Two rounded sholder pads
 * Gauntlets
 * Shin guards
 * Overboots (Can be worn over any footwear)

When someone puts on the armor, they will need to activate it first by turning on a valve-like switch on the right side of the left overboot. This activates its abilities and the entire suit reforms so it fits comfortably around the wearer. To take it off, you need to turn the switch to its off position. If someone has acquired a part of the armor and wears it (Mal, for example), they will need the overboots to remove those peices from their body.

The Replica
A replica of the armor was made and was displayed in the ancient history section of a museum in Washington DC. It can only be worn by a Demigod. Unlike the original suit, the replica Armor only provides protection and doesn't need a switch to remove it. There are also fewer pieces to the copy:


 * A chestplate
 * Gauntlets
 * Shin guards

Dawn is currently the owner of this replica.

Trivia

 * The switch on the overboot refers to the legend that Talos had one vein which opened on his ankle. It was sealed by a nail which the Argonauts removed to kill the titan.
