This is one of those sample sentences that no actual person would ever say.

In this kind of sentence, where a subject and predicate nominative do not agree in number, one must adhere to the primary rule, i.e., the subject and verb must agree in number. "The body covering is scales". "My favorite vacation spot is the mountains." If this rankles, then reword the sentence to avoid the situation.
