The kokio (tr. "under-dragon") is a large fire-breathing, lava-proof lizard that lives underground in Iwoef Ovah - mostly in Kohkrahmvah, but there are a certain number of them living in the Merfaen also, especially the deeper mine systems. These creatures' scaley hides are quite tough, and also flame proof, and they are fairly difficult to kill, making kokio leather one of the most expensive animal products in the world, usually even more costly than unicorn tail hairs.
The Merfaen army, of course, cannot afford to make kokio armor for all their troops, but they did fund the creation of two such suits, for their two resident "fire dancers" 🔥
