You're big, you're bad... what magic items would you have?

[QUOTE="nameless, post: 1561699, member: 1543"] I love to showcase unique items on my big bads. Here are two examples that I've used in the past: 1. Skin of the Spinagon: +X Spiked Mithril Breastplate. The plates interlock and shift, moving like a skin. It has mechanical/magical metal wings on the back that let the wearer fly for an hour per day (in 10 minute increments). It became a favorite item that was commissioned more than once, because it's just so useful (and stylish!) 2. Shroud of the Blood Spider: +X Mithril Chain Shirt. The chain shirt is blood red due to alchemical alteration of the mithril. The bottom edge of the shirt goes down to the knees, but seems tattered. With a command word, the bottom half of the chain shirt unravels and extends into a large number of long chain "legs," suspending the wearer 4 feet off the ground. The legs were effectively a mount, which never needed a ride check to control, and had stats that were a mix between a large animated object and a large monstrous spider (I don't have the stat block I made in front of me). The command word could be given at will, but if the mount was destroyed, it couldn't be used for a week while the armor repaired itself. The players didn't end up killing the mind flayer that was wearing this, but they were shuddering with coolness as the illithid climbed all over the room and laid waste to the party (before his astrally projecting form was destroyed - 3.0E).
