The Piranha Blade gained its name for its ability to shred its victim into bloody tatters. It is shaped in the form of a vicious, ravenous carnivorous piranha fish. Like its namesake, this weapon has thousands of tiny barbed teeth that rip and tear anything they touch. The teeth of this fish are set along the edges of the blade, and the hilt is decorated with inlaid fish eyes. The weapon mimics the action of the piranha fish and bites into the flesh of the victim devouring it. Just as the many-toothed fish saws through the hardened scales of a Stegadon, so too does the Piranha Blade rasp through armour to carve up opponents.
