Notes

• Was originally the Epic Weapon of the Turtle Tamer.
• While the regular slingshot is a ranged weapon, this one was not, and therefore was compatible with skills like Headbutt.
• This item was replaced by the Mace of the Tortoise after NS13 was rolled out.

References

• The second attack message is a reference of coming into an argument with someone as in, "They're at loggerheads." The joke is that a Loggerhead is also a species of sea turtle.
• The "religiously significant way" is probably a nod towards the Old Testament story of David and Goliath.

History

• Before May 29th, 2007 this was a 2-handed slingshot.
