Legendary weapons


 * HS 7290

In the course of MS Paint Adventures, several weapons have been described as being legendary.

Zillium weapons
While in Trickster Mode, the post-scratch kids HS 7664 Each of these weapons costs one zillion Zillium grist.

Warhammer of Zillyhoo

 * HS 7665

The Warhammer of Zillyhoo, known about for much longer than the other weapons, has been retroactively revealed to allude to the word "who" in its name. It falls under the Hammerkind specibus, and as such is usable by John. However, as John has since alchemized the Pop-a-matic Vrillyhoo Hammer from it, the Warhammer is likely to be left unused. Which is probably how it ends up available for the time shenanigans that result in it being given to Terry Kiser and ending up in John's possession anyway.

Battlespork of Zillywut

 * HS 7666

The Battlespork of Zillywut alludes to the word "what" in its name, and presumably falls under both the Spoonkind and Forkkind specibi, perhaps merging them into simply Sporkkind. This makes it usable by Jane.

Flintlocks of Zillyhau

 * HS 7667

The Flintlocks of Zillyhau allude to the word "how", and fit Jake's 2xPistolkind specibus. The Artillery Hermit of the Schundermoist Caves is likely a reference to Cave Story: a pistol is found in the underground home of a hermit gunsmith in the first level of the game.

Cutlass of Zillywair

 * HS 7668

The Cutlass of Zillywair alludes to "where", and will likely be used by Dave in his Bladekind specibus. Whether or not it will become broken and used with &frac12;-Bladekind remains to be seen, though Dave may be able to cycle it through its timeline as he has done with other weapons. It was seen being HS 8283 (wielded by Jade Harley.)

Blunderbuss of Zillywigh

 * HS 7669

The Blunderbuss of Zillywigh alludes to "why", and presumably fits the Riflekind specibus. This may make it usable by either Roxy or Jade; Roxy is more likely, given that Jade HS 8283 (no longer has much use for a specibus allocation.)

Unbreakable Katana
One of Dirk's amazing swords is an outlier for a few reasons, one of which being that the full flavor text for it was given over 1200 pages before the trickster arc:


 * HS 6418

During the trickster arc, it simply reads as follows:
 * HS 7670

The Unbreakable Katana is still just Dirk's sword. Though perhaps Dirk now has two of it, which may open up a few interesting possibilities.

This is the only one of the seven Zillium weapons to not allude to any question word in its name, although a process of elimination would implicitly associate it with "when". Thanks to the naming mythos of the weapons, the katana implies that the magical kingdom has a continent called "Unbreakable" or "Katana". Unless of course we simply haven't been told its actual name.

Curiously, the Quills of Echidna are the only weapon to have been HS 5528 (explicitly cited) as being sufficiently potent to activate scratch constructs, and both known scratches have been carried out using them. However, Dave's Bro HS 3840 (damages the surface) of the Beat Mesa with his sword, an action that confirms to have started the scratching process. Whether this is a result specifically of the katana's Zillium nature, or merely that it is a sufficiently potent weapon, is unclear.

Thistles of Zillywich

 * HS 7671

The Thistles of Zillywich allude to "which", and match Rose's Needlekind specibus. Whether they, like some of her other weapons, will also be Wandkind remains to be seen. The pure gibberish "origin story" of the weapon may be a reference to "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" or silly magical incantations generally, tying into Rose's interest in wizards, as well as Rose's earlier unintelligible speech while Grimdark.

Zilly Santa
The Zilly Santa is not one of the legendary weapons, and its grist cost is not stated, but given that Dirk has the FncySntaKind specibus, he may yet be able to use the kids' considerable quantity of these miniature abominations as a weapon at some point.

We can but hope even the ironies will not be sufficient to allow these things to ever reappear, however.

Other weapons
In Problem Sleuth, the Tectrix of the Arbitor is PS 783 (referred to as legendary), as is its less innocuous double, PS 1702 (Tectrixcalibur). In addition, the Clown Pontificate has the PS 1348 (legendary Hamper of the Jaded Fool's Ennui).

Feferi and Eridan's weapons are each described as legendary – &Psi;don's EntenteHS 4355 and Ahab's CrosshairsHS 4356, respectively.

Caledfwlch is repeatedly referred to as legendary; the first instance of this is by Equius, to which Dave responds, HS 4726. This becomes an ongoing gag, and Caledfwlch is referred to as a legendary piece of shit on HS 4732 (several) HS 4729 (subsequent) HS 4736 (pages). On the other hand, Davesprite merely calls it a "legendary sword" HS 5827 (when talking to Jadesprite), neglecting "piece of shit". It is HS 8220 (later said) to be a weapon capable of inflicting damage on, apparently reaffirming its legendary status.

The "legendary piece of shit" gag is also HS 5075 (used by Jade) to refer to Ahab's Crosshairs when Eridan gifts it to her, and continues in the next two page commands. HS 5138 (Recap 3) also refers to both the Crosshairs and Caledfwlch as legendary (but not pieces of shit).

It is possible there may be another legendary weapon, as none of them allude to "when".
