A gun that launches magical potatoes as projectiles. If they hit a person, they kill them, but if they miss, they cause a very fertile plant to sprout from the ground.

What seems to be the decapitated head of an old man that's been infused with the elements of air and water. The air is dominant within it, allowing it to expel large quantities of air accompanied with an unnerving wheezing sound, with the water causing the air to be uncomfortably wet, like spittle. Mostly effective as a psychological weapon.

An avant-garde art piece made of doll pieces and spray-painted bicycle parts. It enjoyed mild success at galleries (mostly the ones crawling with hipsters) before being welded onto a chainsaw and finding use as a very impractical weapon.

Bio-engineered cactus species adapted into weaponry. Often deployed as a seedlings no larger than 1 cm, these are scattered over soft ground and then watered. Once they are "primed", the plants will detect movement above them and viciously lash out with their thorny vines. Their hardened bark is roughly as tough as concrete yet remains flexible, allowing for whip-like strikes that can crack open armor and split men in half.

Blood is akin to water to them, and corpses are their fertilizer: for each kill, a field of Prickscast grows in size. Consider the city of Konryo; a patch was planted there some 50 years ago to deter invaders from attacking through Gatha Pass to the south. After the Meatgrinder at Gatha and subsequent reclamation efforts (all of which have failed), the whole city is now ringed by an invisible minefield of carnivorous plants, waiting underground for yet another party to stake their claim of the long-abandoned city.

An experimental weapon that on the surface is simply an oddly clunky looking halberd, but secretly is built to double as an anti-tank rifle. For extra defence against necromantic warfare, the halberd's blade will glow in the presence of the undead, and is enchanted to burn their flesh on contact.

A mecha weapon made from the combination of the animal mecha Kong (gorilla), Dong (geoduck), and Pong (tabletennis-playing elephant). It takes the form of a giant cannon that requires an entire upgrade for the main mech to use without hurting itself.

A pistol that shoots out explosive and/or poisonous candy as bullets. Said candy can be replaced with actual candy, and Penelope would add some sort of chemical mixture that'll make it go boom. Not sure how that would work, but it sure as hell looks cool.

A railgun loaded with bullets containing viruses from Hell, giving the poisoned status effect to the opponents. And the shooter as well. It's very badass, though.

Sounds like something out of Doom.

Technically a flanged mace, but the flanges are so oversized and sharpened so that it inflicts more damage through cleaving than blunt force. Closer look reveals that this was a modification; bits of metal are welded into the original flanges in a crude yet effective manner, and the haft has been lengthened through affixing a piece of ironwood on the steel hilt, then reinforced with pig iron bands. The resulting weapon is unwieldy for most humans to wield, yet anyone who are able to swing it can attest to its surprisingly devastating power.

The personal weapons of notorious Troll Warlord Kesemdivedezek. This was believed to be looted from a band of knights who traveled through his territory on their way to participate in a nearby civil war. As these knights were expected to fight other, heavily-armored knights, it is to be expected that they are armed with blunt weapons, which are more effective against steel plating than blades.

However, Kesem is more interested in consolidating his power over beastmen herds than warring with civilized races. Beastmen wear no sturdy armor as to not hinder their movement through thick forests, and thus Kesem instructed his warsmiths to remodel this fine mace into an instrument of brutal murder. Some of his retainers recount how Kesem decapitated the entire Council of Thorns in a single swing of this weapon, while others tell stories of him single-handedly felling an arch-treant. Despite its renowned status, Kesem opted to not name this weapon — these achievements are all the result of his own strength, not the weapon which he insistently called a "battle axe". Thus the name stuck.

A type of portable chamber that traps opponent/s in a sort of complex or mall that's filled with laser blasters. Everyone and everything in said chamber is an illusion that's powered by the opponent's thoughts and is out to kill them. The only way to escape is either via intangibility or if the owner of said Laser Complex lets them out.

While seemingly an ordinary candlestick, this weapon actually possesses a great power. When it is brought together with The Wrench, The Lead Pipe, The Rope, The Dagger, and The Revolver, the Great Pharaoh of Destruction Blackbody will be summoned and kill anyone it's summoner wishes, provided they're located in a hall, lounge, dining room, kitchen, ballroom, conservatory, billiard room, library, or study.

A three-pronged spear slick with never-drying bloodstains. Unlike the common fishermen's tool, this style of trident was forged for battle; unpopular with the common soldier owing to its added weight, yet favored by warriors who relish in the brutality of stabbing their enemies thrice with one thrust.

This particular specimen was once wielded by Garum, a freed Retiarus who applied his gladiatorial skills on real battlefields. So fearsome was his strength that he was called a walking typhoon, leaving a torrent of spilled blood and severed limbs wherever he goes.

But his ferocity does not come from the desire of power nor zealously; it was simple bloodlust. He enjoyed killing so much that he would round up captives — he didn't distinguish between captured soldiers and civilians —, snare them by the dozen with a weighted net, and slowly impale them to death.

It is not known how Garum met his end. All that is certain is that his spear was found buried in an unmarked grave, which was only discovered after the blood it secrets seeped into the ground and contaminate the local water reservoir. Genetic samples taken from the blood suggests that it came from one individual, speculated to be Garum himself.

Not exactly a weapon, but rather a handheld piece of wood. It's been carved from an eight-thousand year old tree, and carefully had its handle wrapped in blessed silks. When brought to the shrine of one of the forgotten gods, they may inscribe it with their sigil, allowing its wielder to channel that god's power.
