Those Delgon that are selected to wield the Gushrak flamethrowers stumble onto the battlefield wearing thick overalls, their senses obscured by a claustrophobic gas mask and a heavy piece of machinery strapped to their back. However, once in position, the deadly Gushrak spit large gouts of flaming chemicals across those that would stand against the will of the gods, burning devanu nests or destroying enemy villages.

A recent product of Plutom’s engineers is the KalGush. One of the engineers sketched out the idea as a method for efficiently applying nutrient rich fertiliser to the mushroom farms. Plutom immediately saw the potential and used several other engineers to refine the design, which was then passed on to one of the factories outside Angan. Initial tests were of mixed success, but the addition of a gas mask and an efficient safety valve rapidly reduced fatalities and within months the KalGush have been seen on the front ranks of the Delgon armies. A powerful engine strapped to the users back is triggered immediately prior to combat and the violent chemical reaction serves to produce the noxious chemicals. These rapidly build up pressure and are fed into a simple valve and bellows system, which can be used to deliver the chemicals. The exhaust gasses are exceedingly unpleasant, so other members of the Delgon forces give the KalGush a very wide berth!
