Scythian Fury Talons

The Scythian Fury Talon is a ritual dagger created by the xenos race of warrior-monks and assassins, the Scythians.^[1][2]

The Fury Talon resembles the sharp claw of some beast that has been fashioned into a cruel-looking dagger. In combat, acids, poisons and narcotics are drawn from a hilt reservoir to coat the blade in a thin layer, poisoning the victim in addition to whatever other wounds the wielder inflicts. Scythians use the Fury Talon as part of their sacrificial rituals, cutting deeply into the victim while the venoms laced into the blade ensure they remain in a state of heightened bliss or excruciating pain. The dagger can typically store up to five doses of a poison or drug.^[1]
