Mottled dragon scales is a decent armour choice for stealthy or spellcasting characters, providing decent AC and GDR in exchange for a very small encumbrance rating, as well as protecting the user from Sticky Flame.
Unsurprisingly, you can get this armour by slaying a mottled dragon. It takes 5 turns to wear or remove.
Desirability
The encumbrance rating on this armour is so small that even characters with a terrible Armour skill aptitude (such as spriggans, ogres, trolls, or deep elves) can easily overcome it. Unfortunately, it is rarely found lying around, and its special resistance to Sticky Flame is not very useful.
Some players will prefer the extra AC this armour gives, while others may find that a useful property (such as that from robe of the Archmagi, troll leather armour, or even just a leather armour of fire resistance) is more useful. Ultimately, it depends on your play style and what other equipment you have found.
Mottled Dragon Scales is the lightest Armour that does not permit casting of Ozocubu's Armour.
