What are the benefits of an animal having scales on their bodies?

One reason amphibians are tied to water is because without it, their skin would not be able to stay moist, which they need for cutaneous respiration (they breath through their skin). When reptiles developed, they had scales, which kept moisture in. They also no longer used cutaneous respiration. This helped them make the break from water.
