At first glance, this weapon looks like the mancatcher polearm. It is ten feet long with a \u201cY\u201d joint at the end. The\r\ntips of the two prongs have hooks pointing in toward the joint, and a spike at the joint pointing toward the target. \r\n\r\nAt the base is a special grip. On a successful attack, the mandibles close around their target, doing an additional 1d6 points of piercing damage. In addition, if the target is medium or smaller, the target is grappled. The target can make a DC14 Athletics check to break the grapple. If the special handle is twisted, the mandibles release. If twisted the other way, they clench even if no target is trapped between them.","rarity":"Rare","cost":"250gp","weight":"10lbs","source":"","image":"","tabledata":"","tags":"Talonz, Magic Items, Weapons","templateId":"18","blockId":"226755","isShared":"1"}
