animal weaponry...

[ShadowHawk]

here we go...a list of animal weapons and reference.

it comes from watching too much cartoons with my boys. the claws and helmets in Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. that's right folks, falconry can take on a whole new meaning.

bladed mounts...http://raulrk.deviantart.com/art/centauro-135813334. also google image African throwing knife, and imagine 1 or 2 attached to the forehead of the horse's face mask/helmet. and let's not forget about the horse on Disney's Tangled.

metal teeth and claws...alchemist can do it.

I have more, but they will have to wait. I have to take my boy's to the park.

Let's also not forget felines, canines, and "raptor"-esque creatures.

They can all (at least land bound creatures) take advantage of helmets/barding with weapons (spears/lance, spikes, rams). Canines (and maybe felines) can likely also handle bladed weapons in their mouth (ala Lion Voltron), though I suspect you have to train them. "raptor"-eque creatures could be intelligent enough to learn to use tools (IINM Rifts has a few examples of this).

Magical Weapons might also be viable for creating ranged attacks, though triggering is an issue, or even super charging their melee capabilities (imagine a Dog Biting down with a SN PS Bite).

You could also use a Falcon (or other flying creature) potentially to drop rocks or other things on the enemy from above and behind enemy lines.

sorry it took so long.

metal feathers...alchemist.

"trap mouths"...the jaw and top teeth are like a bear trap.

Tail spikes.

etc.

I usually do the animals on 4x6 index cards. I also do spells, rune weapons, ships, etc on them.
