I seem to recall that trolls afflicted with this virus find that the low
levels of this enzyme released over the years in response to ambient 
light causes their skin to gradually harden and toughen to the point
where they eventually ends up with one, sometimes two, points of armor.
Or maybe that was just a story some crazy merc told me while we were
