From arena mode testing when I attempted to create the ultimate unusual weapon challenge I have come to the conclusion that... 

Fighting unarmed blows.
Lion corpses are significantly better than fighting unarmed. (somehow managed to kill it unarmed)
Elephant corpses are almost as good as a quality hammer. (Killed it with the lion corpse)
Whale corpses are too heavy and barely dent things. (gravity)

(Yes, to get the whale corpse I dropped the whale from the top of the arena into the deep pit part of the arena.  No I did not have a pot of petunias available.)

wait, so objects can be too heavy to cause damage?

I thought you could kill with drageon corpes

and anvils

Throwing a Dragon is less deadly than throwing a 90 lb elf, so that makes sense, yeah.

That whale is going to try and kill you later on.

No, the petunias are going after Arthur. The whale is coming back as an undead monstrosity. A landwhale. Of death.

Anvils have great stopping power, they are like maces, but better.

no, akrajag was the whale, not the petunias. though I'm sure the petunias wanted revenge too.

No dude, the whale was just a whale that spontaniously cam into existance and was introducing itself to the ground right before going splat. the Penunias were Akrajag(sp?) and all they thought was "NOT AGAIN!"



Oh yeah, and as for anwering the actual question of the thread....Well.....I've seen a Rat Leather Backpack do some.....considerable damage.

That's the point, it wouldn't be as fun to crush their souls if they didn't have souls to begin with.

You strike at the Goblin Pikeman but the shot is blocked!
The Goblin Pikeman stabs at you with his +iron pike+, cutting the flesh, tearing the muscle, bruising the liver and shattering the bone!
You have been struck down.
Press ESC to finish.

True, but at a certain velocity the resulting explosion expels invader-bits at fatal speeds. You don't want to be dropping trogdolyte-shaped shrapnel bombs into your boneworks.

I saw great success using a saguaro rib log as a play now human.

I swear it killed faster than my legendary spearman did with his spear.
