Edgar places one hand on his lucky Dog Tags, or sometimes holds them in his mouth as he throws a stone, flicks a ball bearing, or lobs a hand grenade - the item ricochets off to it's target, striking with surprising force.
Edgar Stokes was quite the Billiards player back in the day - many of the rough brawls of his younger days were with people he hustled at the Pool Table. When aiming for something he can see (or smell), Edgar has an uncanny ability to ricochet shots off multiple surfaces, striking victims with relative ease.

Stronger than any other apes in nature. Standing at 8ft tall and upright like a human, this creature is a mountain of matted hair and massive muscles.

The user clasps a small amount of dried herbs in their hands ("normal" use 15 g of tobacco) as they turn to dusty ash with no source of heat.

the wounds of these shards appear to be a result of extreme cold
