Thornax Launcher

Thornax Launchers were used to shoot Thornax, an explosive fruit native to Bara Magna. They were used by Glatorian, Fero, Vorox, and Tuma.

The Thornax launcher was the preferred missile weapon of Glatorian and Bone Hunters on Bara Magna. Durable, simple to operate and repair, it also had the advantage of being light and easy to carry on long treks across the desert. It is considered the best tool/device/weapon that the Agori can create. It has only been known to fire spiked Thornax fruit, which has proven to be quite a devastating type of ammunition. There were three main types of Thornax fruit: Green, Ripe, and Over-Ripe


 * Green Thornax were Thornax fruit that was not yet ripe. It could be picked, softened by boiling, and eaten. Bone Hunters made a particularly foul smelling and tasting Thornax stew.
 * Ripe Thornax fruit had spikes and was rock-hard, which made ripe Thornax very effective missiles in a fight.
 * Over-Ripe Thornax, allowed to ripen for too long in the desert heat, could actually become explosive. While not illegal, their use was frowned upon in most village arenas. Explosive Thornax were allowed in battles in the Arena Magna of Atero.

Set Information
