Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })You are Exploring the Evil Lair when suddenly you hear footsteps approaching. What should you do? You look around and notice that suit of armor by the door. Voila, wouldn't that make for a great hiding spot? This trope covers any instance where a mounted knight's armor is used by a character for camouflage. Owes a lot to Rule of Funny given how long it would take for a single person to put on the armor. note Around 10 minutes in one test, and that was with someone helping. Compare Nobody Here but Us Statues when a character hides in plain sight by pretending to be a statue or similar. Also compare Closet Shuffle when the hiding spot is a closet. See Animated Armor where a soul inhabits an empty suit of armor. |

Looney Tunes: In "From Hare to Heir", Yosemite Sam hides in a tiny suit of armor to attack Bugs with an axe. However, he misses and proceeds to take a tumble down a long flight of stairs, cussing all the while. Gossamer tries this once with a suit of armor, but his hair leaks out of the edges of the parts of the suit. |

In the Ghosts (UK) episode "Bump in the Night", lead character Mike hides in a decorative suit of armor when he finds himself alone in the house with an unknown (to him) number of burglars. Then he tries to intimidate them by pretending to be a ghost. Unfortunately, he fails to allow for the weight and clumsiness of the armor and falls flat on his back. | |

In The Pirate Movie, Kristy McNichol's character (Mabel — it's an updated version of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance) hides in a suit of armor during the Pirates' final attack on the mansion. (It's also a bit of commentary on how difficult it is for Frederick to get to her.) | |

A horrible subversion of this is in Clock Tower (1995). One of the jump scares you can find is if you investigate a suit of armor. It falls over and the body of Laura, your friend, is in there. Either she was shoved in there by Scissorsman or she tried to hide in it. It was most likely a decorative suit of armor and not fitted for a human being. She dies as her chest is compressed and she couldn't breathe. It most likely wasn't quick either. | |

In Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, during the flashback arc, an assassin sent by the Zabi family sneaks into Don Mass' mansion this way and manages to kill Jinba Ral and cripple Don Mass before being defeated in a particularly brutal fashion in a sword fight with a young Char. Notably, in the manga's version of the battle of A Baoa Qu, Char begins having flashbacks to this incident while fighting Amuro in a treasure room full of suits of historic armor belonging to Ghiren Zabi. | |

Soon afterwards, the Vulgarian General is conked in the head with the same mace, and the knight pulls its visor open, showing that there was somebody inside the suit the whole time. | |

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure: The titular duo dress in suits of armor off-screen while in medieval England. It's implied they somehow slipped into them as they comment on their first steps that it's really heavy. To really play this up, Ted falls down a set of stairs and somehow falls out of the suit while leaving the suit in a perfectly intact shape. |

One of the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys crossover stories featured an attempt to steal a famous suit of armor custom made for a woman to follow her lover into battle. The sleuths get a tip a second attempt will be made, so they have time to set a trap in advance, deciding that Nancy will wear the targeted armor and the boys will wear two other sets from the collection. They need help to get the armor on from the professionals charged with its care, and remark about how cumbersome and hard to see in it is. | |

In the French comedy La Tour Montparnasse Infernale, Eric and Ramzi are window washers trying to hide from a highly organized group of criminals during a bank heist. They decide to hide in full knight armor suits, which becomes a plot point and a way to make multiple jokes: They make an attempt at being stealthy. They use their disguises to hide in plain sight, but one of them gets beaten up by the leader of the bad guys who is taking out his frustration on what he thinks is an empty armor. |

In the Scrooge McDuck story The Black Knight, Gentleman Thief Arpin Lusene hides in a suit of armor when Scrooge and Donald burst into the room Lusene is currently in looking for him. He then keeps moving around when they're not paying attention and eventually escapes with the armor. This becomes plot-relevant later since he uses the stolen armor to create the Black Knight by coating it with the Omnisolve. | |
