Yang: What did you do to your armor?

Jaune: *Wearing the Set of Thorns* ... Nothing ...

Spiny Lobsters are not true lobsters. They lack claws, and instead are covered in sharp spines that cut and carve into would-be predators, hence the common name "Spiny Lobster"

Yang: Are ... Are you going to sleep in that armor?

RK!Jaune: Yeah ... It's ... It's hard to get off, so it's easier to just leave it on most nights.

This is a double edged sword, for if its shell grows too thick, it may not have the strength necessary to molt, leaving it trapped in it's own skin to waste away Slowly ...

Most often, it is not compression, nor starvation that takes these ancient crustaceans, but rather a disease known as Shell Rot, that eats away at their armor, and eventually, themselves, Like mold on the crust of bread.
