English travellers in the Kingdom of Kandy wrote several accounts of executions using these weapons. Muslim tradition describes the miraculous deliverance of Mecca from one of these weapons in the birth year of Muhammad. Romans called these things "Luca bos," or Lucanian cattle, after seeing them used in the Pyrrhic War. (*) Charlemagne received one of these things named "Abdul-Abbas" as a gift from the Abbasid caliph. Successful tactics against these things in war included setting pigs on fire because these things are scared of pigs.
