Claw
The claw develops in Authairian males, triggered by DNA messaging, as they mature. It is usually found on the right hand where the middle finger would normally be. In that place, a callused, knob-like hinge activates the embedded claw blade. A tough enclosure of skin similar to a zipper opens the length of the forearm to expose the claw. When the male activates his claw, it whips out similar to the action of a switchblade and locks in place at the joint between the fingers, which then stiffen around the base of the claw to provide aim and force. At this point, the claw’s appearance is like that of a sword. If Zak survived the pain and trauma, his arm could be replaced—but what about its precious claw, the evolutionary remnant from prehistoric time when males thrust their blades into meaty boars for sustenance?
