dragon scale
Mythical beast's armor
Dragon scale refers to the individual protective plates covering mythical dragons, typically imagined as hard, overlapping, and often iridescent or metallic.
The term appears in fantasy literature, games, and folklore, where dragon scales are prized as armor material or magical components: The smith forged a breastplate from dragon scales.
In the real world, dragon scale describes patterns or textures resembling such plates—a knitting stitch, a type of plant, or decorative metalwork with overlapping elements.
