I know that the “different body parts having different AC” thing was removed for 3.0, but this might be a case where something different needs to be done. After all, intelligent creatures will hunt this monster for the value of its shell, and damaging it in combat is a considerable hazard.is there any precedent for hiding in a shell, like a turtle?And as to the value of the shell, how would we work that? I mean, this thing would be attacked by collectors or adventurer types looking to get money, and damaging the shell during combat should remain a realistic danger..ok, here’s another difference I noted between the versions of the beast. The Special Defenses entry for the MC11 version lists the ammonite as being:but, the other entries say:contradictory, no? which one is “the truth”?so, discuss!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
