root@pangolin-db:~$ cat description.txt

A Pangolin Seraph turtle shield with extreme capacity at the cost of maximum health and movement speed. Its capacity also scales in co-op, with each party member wearing a Hoplite pushing the capacity even higher while making the speed penalty worse.

When used solo, it also gets an extra hidden capacity boost, so its real shield value can exceed what the card shows.

root@hyperion-db:~$ cat notes.txt

Its already huge base capacity can make percentage-based capacity boosts feel less noticeable. It can roll a Torgue capacitor for explosive resistance, but no other elemental resistance, and the prefix may not display.

The item card can fail to show the health penalty, but the penalty still applies. With Sharing is Caring, Deathtrap can inherit the capacity bonus. At Overpower levels the health penalty can reduce maximum health to zero, which means any hit can trigger Fight For Your Life even if the shield absorbs it. It shares its model with the Fabled Tortoise.
