Description: If you had to fight a magical fantasy creature that can corrode your steel swords, axes, hammers, etc... what would be good alternatives for the adventurer's inventory? Ideally something that hits hard and is robust enough to deal with its natural armor. In history there are plenty of fascinating designs from indigenous cultures all over the world, so let's take a look at a few of them. Special thanks to Ace the Super Villain for providing the dungeon background and animating the rust monster in the intro.
