Thrumbo horn

Thrumbo horns are valuable and moderately powerful melee weapons obtained by butchering thrumbos.

Acquisition

Butchering an adult thrumbo will yield one thrumbo horn unless the part has been destroyed by damage. Only a full adult thrumbo will produce a horn when butchered.^{[Fact Check]} All wild thrumbos spawn as adults.

Summary

Thrumbo horns function identically to any other melee weapon, despite their unorthodox method of production. They do not have a quality value - all thrumbo horns are statistically identical.

Analysis

The thrumbo horn has a fairly good damage output and an exceptional market value. It is one of the best melee weapons available at low technology levels. The DPS of a thrumbo horn is about the same as a Poor quality plasteel longsword, or an Excellent quality steel longsword. Another animal body part that can be used as a melee weapon is the elephant tusk, albeit less effectively.

They can be sold for a hefty amount of silver to Exotic Goods Traders.
