Hob-Lobber

Carl uses his least powerful missile launcher at point-blank range against Claude's exposed stomach.

Story so far

With Claude Sludgington the Fourth pinned and his belly torn open, Carl loads the weakest available Hob-Lobber because the fighters are too close for a large explosive.

He throws its missile directly into the stomach wound while Donut adds Magic Missiles, contributing to the internal damage before Mongo dives in.

Appearance

A compact thrown missile weapon loaded with a comparatively low-yield explosive.

Role

The Hob-Lobber supplies carefully limited explosive damage in dangerously close quarters.

Relationships

Carl — He selects and deploys the least powerful version.
Claude Sludgington the Fourth — Its missile detonates inside his belly wound.
Princess Donut — Her missiles accompany Carl's explosive attack.
