I don't know how many of you are also Ninja Turtles fans, but I fouond something interesting. You know Saluk's clawlike weapon, it's actually Japanese, and the same one Slash and the Shredder wear! I also saw that Hugh Jackman wore them to do Wolverine's claws on the X Men movies! I always thought it was something they made up for Saluk. Never thought it would cross into the TMNT fandom.lol

Well, TMNT came first, so that makes US look not that original Laughing

Oy. I had my martial artists and ninjas equipped with the li'l buggers at some point in Dragon Warrior 3 and several Final Fantasy games.

I could wax poetic about how awesome these guys were... well, next to my virtually-unstoppable red mage. Very Happy

Yeah, those kind of claw weapons show up in games a lot; I've had them on assassins in Diablo 2 and my rogue in World of Warcraft.

Strangely enough, when I started googling around to find out what Sa'luk means I found out there's an Arabian Nights style D&D spinoff game called Al-Qadim, where one of the rogue-like characters is actually called a sa'luk. Coincidence? Laughing
