Zortswoggle ⚔️
What an amazing way to start this game! 🤩
A zortswoggle is a specialized weapon made famous (or infamous) for its popularity among goblins living in humid wetlands near the equator. It consists of two hooks made of bone or wood, and is typically attached to a riding harness on aquatic mounts like crocodiles, giant frogs, and giga catfish. (Though some particularly aggressive fighters who are also adept swimmers will sometimes wear the zortswoggle themselves.)
The hooks are primarily used to snag enemies by surprise, dragging them into the murky water before they have time to recover.
It is generally agreed that the best counter to a zortswoggle is simply avoiding it in the first place, which led to the regional idiom “blocking the zortswoggle,” meaning to rush in to a hasty and ill-fated decision.
