An animal that wears or is covered by a cloak-like structure or protective layer, used rarely in zoological descriptions.
From Greek chlamys (cloak) + -phore (bearer), literally 'cloak-bearer.' This is a constructed term that fits the pattern of scientific nomenclature but remains uncommon in actual scientific literature.
Chlamyphore is one of those scientifically constructed words that almost nobody uses anymore—it's a beautiful example of how scientists tried to name every possible trait, creating a vocabulary that exceeds what nature actually demands.
