In the Mount & Blade role-playing game, the POOPHAMMER is a magical beast.
The POOPHAMMER is a gigantic lizard-like creature which exists only to poop, kill, and destroy. In most campaign settings, only one POOPHAMMER is said to exist on each server. The POOPHAMMER has a low intelligence and cannot speak. It is neutrally aligned, for despite its violent and savage nature, it lacks the mental capacity to choose between good and evil.
The POOPHAMMER was introduced to the M&B game in the first edition of CRPG. It is based upon the French legend of the merde-martel.
The POOPHAMMER is very large, 50 feet tall and 70 feet long, and has a Tyrannosaurus rex–like form, although it is much more broad and muscular, with a differently shaped head, and with larger and more developed front arms. It has brown skin, with scabs and warts and bits of encrusted dung all over it which are grey in color. Protecting its back and tail is a thick, glossy caramel-colored shell or carapace. It has spikes coming from its chin, the sides of the mouth, the underside of its neck, the elbows of its front arms, and its shell. The creature also has two horns projecting forwards from the top of its head. The POOPHAMMER's skin is very hard and thick, and provides excellent armor. The second edition of the game included rules for extracting treasure from the creature's carcass.
The 2nd edition strat history thread calls the creature "the most dreaded monster native to Calradia" and "a killing machine", and goes on to say:
It is hoped that the POOPHAMMER is a solitary creation, some hideous abomination unleashed by the dark arts or by elder, forgotten gods to punish all of nature. The elemental nature of the POOPHAMMER leads the few living POOPHAMMER experts to speculate that the devs and chadz himself have something to do with its existence. In any case, the location of the POOPHAMMER remains a mystery, as it rarely leaves witnesses in its wake, and nature quickly grows over all remnants of its presence. It is rumored that the POOPHAMMER is responsible for the extinction of one ancient civilization, for the records of their last days spoke of a 'great poopy punisher sent by the gods to end the world'."
