Vonduun Skerr Kyrric

"As if they weren't ugly enough already..."

- Lando Calrissian

Vonduun Skerr Kyrric, more commonly known as Vonduun crab armor, was bioengineered crab-shell-plated armor used by the Warrior caste of the Yuuzhan Vong. The armor was made from the shell of the Vonduun crab.

The Vonduun crab's spear-like legs were extremely sharp, and could be used as weapons. One set, called "grip legs", would sometimes grab the corner of the wearer's mouth, giving them an evil, skull like smile. It may have been originally developed to protect warriors from Amphistaffs. Vonduun crab armor had crystalline properties, and was resistant to blasters, slugthrowers, and even lightsabers.

If a non-Yuuzhan Vong wore the armor, the Vonduun crab would attempt to kill the wearer, forcing the Peace Brigade's guards to wear laminated versions of Vonduun crab armor. Wraith Squadron created synthetic suits of crab armor for their insertion into enemy-held Coruscant during the Battle of Borleias

The Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt wore vonduun crab armor around the time of 130 ABY, clearly modified from the Yuuzhan Vong version.
