Cerata

 * Tied with the Halikar for having the second highest status chance of all Thrown Melee Weapons.
 * Can hit enemies on the way back to the thrower.
 * Second highest damage on throw attacks, surpassed by Glaive Prime.
 * Comes with and  polarity slots.

Disadvantages:
 * Slow flight speed when thrown.
 * Low base damage on normal attacks.

Trivia

 * Cerata are anatomical structures found externally on nudibranches. They are typically used to aid respiration, but are sometimes used for attack and defense.
