Appearance
This model of crossbow has been the stuff of legends amongst lupine mercenaries for centuries. Originally adapted from those wielded by Khor'minos' shock troops, the average lupine, lacking a minotaur's raw strength, found the weapon impossible to set barehanded. They thus resorted to using a specialised lever known as a ramsfoot to span its deadly draw, which eventually became part of the crossbow proper.
Once loosed, the immense, forearm-length bolts reputedly punch through everything — armour, walls, people, trees, palisades, what have you; it's been a point of argument amongst some enthusiasts about whether the mauler can be properly classified as a siege weapon or not.
Acquisition
Found within the Footlockers in Fort Marrok during the events of Shades of the Past.
