Torke Rygat's weapon was initially planned as one large scythe and a smaller scythe.
They were meant to be like what you expect of a weapon: a blade made of some sharp material with a decorative handle that suits the character. That's where I began my design process.
Then, I wondered why have 2 separate scythes when we could give Torke Rygat a dual scythe instead? It made more sense to me to take this path as opposed to carrying two weapons for this character.
The name "Cuddles" came from the fact that the weapon didn't have a name in the design brief and I enjoyed the irony of calling a creepy weapon a cutesy name :)
