Dracat Spike Bone

Anyone and everyone knows that hunting a dracat results in a 73% chance of death, but those who work with House Evkein ignore those results and venture into the Winter Pine Forest to capture and remove the hollow bone spikes from the back of a dracat. Each bone spike is three feet in length and can be made into at least three blowguns.

Common Use

In House Evkein, the assassin and spies use blowguns made from these spikes as provide accurate aerodynamics. The bones can only be found on female dracats and grow in between their shoulder blades. When a dracat is threatened, the bones become flexible, like a tentacle. However, when removed from a dracat, the bone stiffens yet remains hard enough like steel. Popular to assassins, these bones grow back once snapped off, making their usefulness much more important and the preservation of dracat a necessity by House Evkein.

Cultural Significance

When a spy or assassin graduates from being a trainee, they make their first blowgun by entering the Winter Pine Forest alone to track down a dracat and capture her. This is a coming-of-age rite used to prove the assassin or spy is eligible to rise in rank.
Once they enter the forest, they have approximately three days to capture a dracat and return with the bone spikes. They are also supposed to tag the dracat with a steel collar and let her return to her tribe.

Appearance

A bone spike is three feet in length and curved. Although, it has a strange yellowish hue to it. When exposed to heat, the bone can start to bend, making it harder to use in warm to hot climates, even for a dracat.
