I've modified Shokugasha's "Chitin Project" mod for Morrowind.  All credit for the beautiful artwork belongs to him.  

Basically, I've made the dark chitin & original chitin armors two different suits of armor & they now exist side-by-side on Vvardenfell. The original chitin is now back to its original armor settings & appearance.  This version fixes a minor oversight in the original upload by assigning ownership to the existing chitinoid armor sets, making them a little more difficult to obtain.  

The darkened chitin is now the product of a magical experiment that fused ebony & chitin. The new Chitinoid armor is very rare:  only two suits are in the Basic version & three in the PLUS version. The new armor is referred to as "chitinoid" & is as strong (and expensive) as glass but much more stealthy in appearance than glass.  

This mod comes in two flavors.  A basic version that has two sets of armor and the PLUS version which merges the basic version & my "Twin Wakizashis" mod ... adding a third set of armor to the smithy in Suran where one can also buy the twin wakizashis.  The chitinoid armor set includes the helm, watchman's helm, shield, & tower shield.  It does not include any chitinoid weapons.  

Locations of chitinoid armor: 
1 -- Ghostgate Armory
2 -- Hlaalu Treasure Vault in Vivec
(and, in the PLUS version) 
3 -- Smithy in Suran  

Once again let me thank Shokugasha who both provided the excellent artwork and the inspiration for this mod.  

Technical information:  Created with the latest patched version of Morrowind with *no* expansion packs installed.  This means no pesky GMSTs.  This mod was tested, however, with a fully patched Morrowind with both expansions installed.  It was double checked with TESAME to remove any inadvertant alterations.  

Interior Cells:  Since this mod alters the three interior cells (listed above) it will obviously conflict with any mod that changes the same cells.  Note that, if you are using my "Twin Wakizashi" mod you must use the "ChitinoidPlus" esp that comes in this ZIP.  

Exterior Cells:  This mod alters no exterior cells.
