Ritiik

The ritiik was a member of the spear family of polearms, used in the polar regions of Toril, such as the Great Glacier.

Description
The weapons were made of bone and measured in length, with a weight of around. In addition to a pointed spear head, ritiiks had an additional hook-like blade that protruded from the spearhead's base. In some lands, this weapon could sell for as much as 5 gold pieces.

Weaponology
The ritiik was designed for the purpose of attacking large animals found in cold environs, such as polar bears. Whenever the shaft of this weapon managed to pierce the flesh of a creature, the spear head would then be jerked backed so that its hook could dig into the flesh,  potentially allowing for them to be dragged down to the ground.
