Added DiffLines:

Shells, whether attached to the body or not, are important defense mechanisms and recognizable features of many different types of animals. As such, many tropes in fiction make use of shelled creatures. This index is for listing tropes about creatures with shells, as well as tropes about shells themselves.

Not to be confused with [[SpentShellsShower bullet shells]].
