Version 0.12: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
These scales have been fashioned into armour for a naga's lower body. Faintly crackling with electricity, they have been enchanted to allow their wearer to slither at almost a human's pace.

Desirability

Probably the best naga barding out there, the lightning scales give a useful resistance and help mitigate a naga's slow movement speed. If you get lucky and are playing a naga when you find this, strongly consider wearing it (unless you're worshipping Cheibriados; he doesn't like hasty items like this).

History

In 0.13, this artefact will only reduce your movement delay by one (notably, making the scales combined with Swiftness no longer give normal movement speed), but its enchantment will increase to +6.

The lightning scales were added in 0.10.
