DESCRIPTION
Tanglefoot fields are ground-hugging police force fields. They see extensive use against rioters and so forth. They're just a wonderful piece of technology. Now imagine your tribe was starving and you absolutely needed to catch a mastmot or two. In normal circumstances, you wouldn't dream of using unsportsmanlike offworld aids -- your spear and your strength should be enough. But your clan's need is pressing, time is short, and you set out to snare yourself a furry mountain. You plop a tanglefield projector in the snow as a mastmot charges you, and suddenly that charge turns to a glacially slow shuffle. You're trapped too -- but your mate leaps off a nearby cliff and drives a stone axe through the mastmot's spine.

But wait! Here come unscrupulous offworld hunters. As they move in to steal your kill, the tanglefield snares their deadly vehicle, perhaps a combat speeder, tank, or light walker. The vehicle bottoms out a good hundred metres from your generator. The offworlders jump out, spitting puny human curses, and are immediately snared themselves. Their life expectancy drops sharply, and behold: your starving clan has even more delicious meat on hand. Praise be the tanglefield.
