Merfolk primarily hunt with clubs, javelins and nets, using nets to catch prey, then approaching and using clubs to bludgeon it to death, or by hurling javelins. Archery is of little use underwater, so in merfolk society, javelins perform many of the same roles that bows do above water. These hunting methods are easily adapted to warfare, as there is little difference between ensnaring a large fish and a human soldier, and most land-dwelling races have a hard enough time traversing water unencumbered, let alone when caught in a net. |
