Plaeryin bol



The plaeryin bol was a creature capable of spitting deadly venom. It was used by the Yuuzhan Vong as a weapon, most commonly replacing an eyeball in its socket. It was notably used by Executor Nom Anor. When used, the plaeryin bol's 'pupil' would grow, and then launch the venom. It could be used accurately at a range of about 10 meters. The weapon was triggered by simple twitch of the user's eyelid.

After use, the plaeryin bol would slowly make more of its own venom, making it a reusable, inconspicuous weapon. It also had the advantage of causing semi-reversable damage. An antidote, usually kept in a small syringe inside a finger, was available to stop the plaeryin bol's normally fatal effects. This made it a useful torture device, being used to force information from a victim in return for the antidote.

The disadvantages of the plaeryin bol included being rendered both nearly useless and dangerous to its user when employed in the presence of water. If one dared, for example, to fire it in the rain, the plaeryin bol would at best be deflected by the rain and at worst be washed back onto the attacker.

It is unknown what became of the ghazakl after the war ended; though it can be assumed they were transplanted to Zonama Sekot where they would have joined the tampasi, though if they were, they were most likely made more benign by the Shapers..
