The claw and dagger combination is a traditional weapon of Clan Rodarch, specifically of the desert dwellers of the southern wastes of Mandalore itself. The claw is one of the first weapons young foundlings train with and learn to use, paired with a stylized dagger. This combination is integrated into the clan martial arts, which emphasize surviving in the harsh environment of Mandalore's surface.
The master craftspeople of the Clan will create a beskar version when a warrior has mounted and ridden their first Trinitaur. This beskar claw is paired with a unique style of dagger, the size of a short sword, with a nasty set of micro recurve barbs along the edge to maximize wounding. This weapon is also often coated with various poisons. A weapon of the desert dwellers, to cause maximum damage at short notice and short range.
Arla's very own personal claw and fang were forged by her overseen by the Clan's Alor, not a smith himself, but in a ceremonial role supervised in one of the Clan's small forges. Finest beskar, they are heavy, durable, and very deadly in trained hands. Arla's claw sports a unique knife-like blade on one side. Arla's fang is more ornate with a panther's head hilt, and a sturdy and heavy, sharp beskar blade.
