King Mazander Over-Under

Staring into the dark, Indrol drew her King Mazander in one smooth motion, her left hand pointing it confidently down the hall. Her right hand moved to lay across its hammer, and she squeezed the trigger just as she fanned it. A deafening blast echoed down the dark tunnel. A blinding fiery flash illuminated the outline of something. About Indrol’s height, with a gaunt, hunched insectile body and long claws, and a smooth head. The fiery flash was accompanied by a whizzing bolt, but the bullet found its mark in a pipe that began to spew gas. With a shrill screech, the thing leapt toward Indrol like some feral animal, as she stood paralysed in fear. As it leapt from all fours, its eyeless head and flaky dead skin reflecting on the SCRAM’s torchlight, Indrol squeezed the trigger again, and slammed the hammer down with her palm. A second echo rang out, before Indrol’s ears had even stopped ringing. This time, the bullet found its true mark. The creature flew back like it had just been hit by a thunderbolt, and crumbled into dust. Indrol stood, trying to steady her breathing. Eightball concernedly stepped forward, and asked, ‘Captain, are you hurt?’ Indrol broke out into a still-shaken grin, and twirled the gun on her finger. Its two smoking barrels glinted in the lamplight. - Captain Indrol of the Khepri II's first encounter with one of the Brood.

It saw serious prominence in Bracken, and gained its moniker from the King of Bracken from 1490.
