dragon skin

Mythical beast armor

Dragon skin is the hide of a dragon in fantasy and gaming contexts, often depicted as scaled, nearly impenetrable armor material: The blacksmith forged a shield from dragon skin.

The term also refers to a type of flexible body armor using overlapping ceramic discs, designed to stop bullets and shrapnel.

In cooking, dragon skin describes the wrinkled, leathery texture that forms on macarons when improperly dried.
