The dwarvish mithril-coat and elven mithril-coat are two types of body armor found in NetHack. While neither is as effective as a good suit of dragon scale mail, they are both much lighter than other high-AC suits. They are also the only suits of body armor that provide MC3.

Being made of mithril, they are immune to erosion, though they will still hinder spellcasting.

While the dwarvish mithril-coat has one higher natural AC than its elven counterpart, it can only be safely enchanted to +5 as opposed to +7 for the elven version.

_Mithril_!  All folk desired it.  It could be beaten like
copper, and polished like glass; and the Dwarves could make
of it a metal, light and yet harder than tempered steel.
Its beauty was like to that of common silver, but the beauty
of _mithril_ did not tarnish or grow dim.
