The Stingray Spear or Tao was a Polynesian thrusting weapon. It was one of the Mid-Range Weapons of the Māori Warrior.
Description[]
The Stingray spear consisted of numerous stingers from the tails of stingrays attached to a wooden shaft.
Stats[]
- 5 feet
- 2 lbs
- Wood & tail spines
Use[]
The Stingray spear is essentially a "one-hit" weapon because the stingers, covered with thousands of tiny barbs, remain imbedded in the body, detaching themselves from the shaft as it is withdrawn.
Trivia[]
- Knights has a spear called the Brandistock, which appeared similarly to the Stingray Spear used in the show. Although used, it wasn't popular, most likely due to the weakness of the thin spearpoints.
