Does armor matter in dark souls

Nito, the first of the dead, is one of the original Lords who found a Lord Soul at the dawn of the Age of Fire. His left hand is natural, his right is equipped with a triple bone forearm, which terminates in a sharpened bone blade covered with the miasma. When dormant, Nito did not seem to wear it until after generating a glowing fume of lavender white power, likely the 'miasma of death and disease' he is known for.

What was once an all concealing cloak looking like black fur or feather, apparently conjured at will, is reduced to a tattered hairlike cloak.

The other skeletons merely adorn him as armor, with his entire torso covered in ribcages and skulls, and arms and legs dangling all around him. His left leg is built like those on a dog or other four legged creature, while his right leg is humanlike, giving him a sort of handicap and reducing his movement to a slow limp. The torso leans forwards as well, giving him a hunchback appearance, and his true skull is tucked into the dead matter and bones. Looking through the game's files reveals that Nito's body is that of an immensely sized human skeleton, though the ribcage is packed with bits of dead matter, and blown open as a result. Gravelord Nito can be found at the end of the Tomb of the Giants.
