The mindset of most spiders is to build a defensive structure such as a web and wait for prey to come to you. When prey comes at you in force of numbers, a static defense such as that of a web structure is little help and the prey can easily outmatch said predator. Arachnid engineers needed a way to counter the massed infantry tactics of the static formations of Coryn and the swarming tactics and tremendous numbers of the Termite Union. The answer was the instant calamity caused by the Pulex Pulse Cannon.

The mechanism behind this innovative weapon is quite simple and easy to deploy against a charging army. The Pulse cannon consists of a large tube as the barrel connected to a straightforward firing pin that irritates the ammunition into action. The ammunition consists of starved, disease ridden, and really pissed off fleas. Once the trigger is engaged the pin creates just enough force to make the hungry flea leap out of it’s holding pen with incredulous speed and force.

The flea smashes through enemy lines creating confusion and then naturally begins to tear apart any bug in it’s vicinity in a ravenous feeding frenzy that creates even more chaos. The only drawback to this incredible piece of weapons engineering is that the rabid fleas tend to destroy everything in their paths including friendly forces. This is a truly frightening weapon of last resort regardless of who’s side you’re on.
