The Masseter's blueprint can be researched from the Tenno Lab in the dojo.
==Notes==
*When wielded by , he is immune to crowd control procs during Heavy Attacks.
*Has a uniquely large slam radius compared to other weapons of the same class.
==Trivia==
*The masseter muscle is one of four muscles responsible for chewing.
*Keeping with 's design being inspired by Oni, the Masseter's design is based on the Kanabō, a studded, two-handed club used by samurai. The cumbersome nature of the kanabō resulted in the weapon being associated with oni due to their great strength.
**The close associations between oni and kanabō in Japanese culture have resulted in the phrase oni-ni-kanabō (鬼に金棒, "[giving a] kanabō to oni") to describe giving further advantages to a powerful opponent, which may be the basis for Grendel's immunity to crowd control effects while preparing a heavy attack with the Masseter.
*When the Masseter is used to perform an attack, the blade's rotation will ramp up for a short period of time and eventually slow back to idle speed.
**Manually guarding will lock the Masseter's blade in place until guarding is released, regardless of current speed.
