<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The &#039;&#039;&#039;spear&#039;&#039;&#039; is a weapon consisting of a spearhead made of stone or metal attached to a pole. A spear can strike from a longer distance than a sword, and the training of a spearman is considerably easier than that of a swordsman.<br /> <br /> Spears are used in Redwall by heroes and villains alike, with some of the most fearsome users being the [[Blackrobe Rats]]. Their spears were (as [[Basil Stag Hare]] put it) &quot;Not the throwin&#039; type, you understand, more like your jolly old stabber.&quot; The spears used by the rats also were very short, meaning that they had to be used within a short distance of their target. Despite these limitations, the Blackrobe&#039;s spears cut down many of the [[Guosim]].<br /> <br /> Other spears used by characters ranged from the gigantic spear with two enormous crosstrees used by [[Urthstripe the Strong]] to the much smaller spear used by [[Bragoon]]. One of the more unusual cases of death by a spear was when [[Riftun]]&#039;s spear was struck by lightning, which traveled through the unfortunate rat&#039;s body and killed him.<br /> <br /> ===Types of Spear===<br /> *[[Pike]]; a very long spear<br /> *[[Lance]]; a spear normally used for stabbing and slashing<br /> *[[Javelin]]; a spear primarily used for throwing and thrusting<br /> <br /> [[Category:Weapons]]</div>
