[Source] The lanvarok was a combination two-handed polearm weapon and projectile launcher that released sharp, poison-coated discs guided by the power of the dark side. Initially purposed as a hunting tool, the massive lanvarok was the primary combat weapon of the Massassi warriors of the Sith species, both melee and ranged, and also the device brandished by Sith Lords during ceremonies. The original lanvarok was inspired by the natural left-handed disposition of all members of the Sith species, a distinction that was also maintained in the weapon's alternate forearm-mounted, combat-exclusive projectile dispenser design. A right-handed version was later developed by Sith Lords of Human descent.
