Skrall Tribal Design Blades are bladed weapons used by the Skrall and the Bone Hunters. Skrall Tribal Design Blades are both wielded by the Skrall as hand-held weapons and worn for an edge in close combat.[citation needed] Their centers, depicting a Rock Tribe design, come in a variety of colors. The hand-held blades wielded by warrior-class Skrall have a bladed guard and Thornax Launchers attached near the hilt.

History

A Tribal Design Blade in The Legend Reborn

Fero's Blades

Fero found one of these blades in an abandoned arena[1] and wielded it until it was broken by Kiina.[2] He later acquired another one.[3]

Atakus' Blades

Two glowing Skrall Tribal Design Blades were created by the Great Beings using prototype technology.[4] The blades were found in a weapons cache near what the Skrall believed to be a baterra encampment.[5] Atakus obtained the blades due to his communication with Velika.[6] He wields the blades with great pride, as no one on Bara Magna knew how to replicate the technology.[5]

Example Usage

In Sands of Bara Magna, a Skrall used his hand-held Blade to tear through Gresh's Jungle Shield, knocking him down and winning the match.
