Hob Lobber

Carl's fused throwable grenade, coming in full and quarter strengths — increasingly, dangerously powerful.

Story so far

The Hob-Lobber is one of Carl's staple fused explosives, thrown in an arc and detonating on a timer. He kills the Thorny Devil with a quarter-strength lob (still strong enough to shower gore from thirty feet) and cripples a Gnomish Drop Bear's engine with a full-strength airburst that knocks him and Donut flat. Noting his bombs keep getting stronger, Carl resolves to craft weaker, close-combat-safe versions.
