I thought it reminded me of Guyver from the thumbnail, broader shoulders and it could also be Ordian or Justice themed. I like the feet.

From the waist down I mostly thought "Kaiju". :3c
Chest piece and the orb on the waist, among a few other details, are basically elements from my main hero OC design.
But yes, like, how the creature grows and envelops Lipe is totally a biologic parasitic tentacly creature like the Guyver unit.
But with it's own will still intact. There is some symbiosis happening in there, but very basic in behaviour.
"Protect the host to live through the host."

Oh that's Lipe's form? I was hoping he'd have more of a chimera lok like your earlier design

and yeah, I read the description as BioARmored Life for some reason.

Yeah, I wanted to do something more in line with the hero designs I do.
I even did a Chimera saint seiya cloth for my original character along these lines of design elements too.
Regarding this creature, it's Lipe's particular Armor as the creature does ass particularities in shape depending on the user.
But I'm still gonna do a standardized shape version, sort of like the mass produced GM of the bioarmors and make a division of the operatives called the Iron Maidens. (headbangs)
