You note in the guide that Armour of Twisting Thorns can't be removed. I don't think this is always the case, but the exception is rather limited: AFAIK transforming pretenders whose alternate form has no torso slot can transform and lose the armour that way - I believe that if they transform in a province with a lab, then the armour goes into storage.

This probably isn't any use with a Rainbow pretender, anyway.
