- Name: Lāla Tēlōnsa (Gujarati; Red Talons

- Wielder: Badami Kaur

- Maker/Smith: Badami Kaur

- Classification: Reversible Shotgun War Claws

- Weapon Derivation: wolverine claws, Ember Celica

- Form 1 Design: A set of gauntlets featuring three thick, retractable claws placed above the knuckles. There are two 20 gauge shotgun barrels on each gauntlet, situated to the left and right of the user's fist and running back to half way down the forearm.

The barrels can rotate 180 degrees backwards to face the elbow with the connecting point sliding forward to the wrist in order to maintain a compact profile.

Rather than shells, Lāla Tēlōnsa uses internal stores of Dust and bird shot; feeding shot directly into the chambers  using a compact convetor system immediately before firing. Dust is piped into the chamber behind the shot.

While the barrels are in the rear-facing position, shot is not loaded; instead firing only Dust for propulsion without risk of the user shooting herself.

- Form 1 Aesthetics: red, serrated claws; with the gauntlets painted a dull tawny color. Overall smooth and rounded design; with the claws sliding forward from a dome-like portion on the back of the hand. Claws are visible while retracted due to the difference in color.

- Dust Usage: Fire (powder, internal reserve)

- Ammunition: steel bird shot; loaded via catridges in the bracer portion of the gauntlet.

- Usage: Badami is an agile brawler and uses Lāla Tēlōnsa for both jabs and slashing strikes; with the shotguns firing when she strikes with a jab. The shotguns deal minimal damage to armored enemis while being highly effective against soft targets.

Recoil from firing offsets risk of the serrated blades becoming caught in her target; effectively ripping them free. The variable firing position serves a similar purpose; helping her to close the distance or dodge with greater speed.

- Planned/Possible Upgrades: N/A

- Notes: Badami is an older character who never really got finished and probably never will.
