Trivia
Dual Ichors weapon models appear to have the standard shaping of a pair of Tomahawks, short-handled variant of axes that can be either used for throwing at or slicing their victims.
In modern terms, ichor may refer to Bile, the green or yellow fluid produced by the liver. In more antiquated terms, it is any discharge from a wound or ulcer with an offending stench. Seeing as the Dual Ichor is made from Infested tissue or biomass, they most likely gets their name from this.
H.P. Lovecraft often used ichor to describe his other-worldly creatures.
In Greek mythology, Ichor was the blood of the gods.
The bulb-like structures on the handle of the Dual Ichors beat like a heart, suggesting they are made of living Infested tissue.
The Dual Ichor are the second melee Clan Tech weapons released, the first being the Prova, and the first to be made specifically by Clan Tech.
This is the first Infested-themed Dual weapon ever released.
The Dual Ichor's spin attack will launch the player forward in a manner similar to the Dual Zoren.
