spaulders

As with spaulders, pauldrons cover the shoulder area.

Spaulders are armoured plates worn on the upper arms and shoulders in a suit of plate armour.

Unlike pauldrons, spaulders do not cover the arm holes when worn with a cuirass.

Pauldrons tend to be larger than spaulders, covering the armpit, and sometimes parts of the back and chest.

A pauldron (sometimes spelled pouldron or powldron) is a component of plate armor, which evolved from spaulders in the 15th century.

Death Adder is a tyrannical giant who wears a full iron helmet, pointed spaulders, and wields an enormous double axe.

Developed during the Middle Ages, the use of spaulders declined during the Renaissance along with the use of plate armour.

A black mask wraps around and covers the lower portion of his head, while a black open gorget covers the nape of his neck and spiked spaulders cover his shoulders.

Though the use of spaulders has declined, various craftsmen and machine shops still exist which can craft a pair of spaulders for use in a museum or in simulated combat during reenactments.
