Throwing Pick

A Throwing Pick (スローイング・ピック) is a type of weapon that is small, easily concealed, and used for damaging small animals or objects. Due to its size, it can only slightly damage players, but can kill smaller animals with a single strike. Some types of it are also known to have attribute called "Continuous Piercing Damage over Time (DoT)", which will inflict damage per five seconds until it is taken out.
