I'm thinking something like this, menacing with spikes.

Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

I remember that being tested on Deadliest Warriors. It got 0 kills, iirc. Yeah, it sucks balls.

You'll have to provide warm, moist kittens at the end of each test chamber.

I just pictured a whip with a sharp metal tip. It would also explain why they can get 'embedded' in the target.

It wouldn't kill them easily, but it would hurt the hell out of them, making them easier to kill. Besides, Deadliest Warrior isn't the most accurate show out there.

More accurate than most shows.

Besides. If whip-weapons were such a good tool, they would have been largely used in real life armies(Or at least by some random crazy single dude in an attempt to ocnquer his local region with them.). They weren't. Ergo; they are not effective weapons. Certainly not like they are in Dwarf Fortress

The way they hit like a tractor trailer carrying 3 loads of lead-decorated lead I'd imagine they're actually flails.

Well, it looks like those weapons are really good against unarmored opponent, not so much against armor. That may explain why they were not widely used by armies, that and the fact that they need much training not to hurt yourself.
