Description
The Iron Hoe is an object that was created by the Ancient Egyptians. The name of this object is derived from the word "hoe", which means "hand" in English. This object was made of an iron material and was used to dig up the bodies of the dead. There are also theories that this item was used in the construction of pyramids and tombs.

When handled, this object [DATA EXPUNGED] at least three minutes or until it becomes so hot that a potential victim will pass out or be killed by the heat. If it is dropped into any liquid or frozen liquids, this object will explode. If the hole is not properly sealed, the contents of this object will eventually escape, releasing a contagious, combustible gas. This substance, in its turn, will engulf the victim, causing damage and disease. This substance will also inhibit the immune system and cause a quicker, fatal, brain damage in its victims.
