Little Piercer

The Little Piercer is a large drill-type object. It is similar in build to a modern tunnel boring machine.

Origin
The initial idea of a drilling machine in Landia seems to have originated with Trill Euphoria, who observed a piece of overtechnology retrieved from a dungeon that rotated. She initially believed that adding a spear tip to such a rotating device would create the drilling mechanic. Unfortunately, Trill's experimental device failed catastrophically, creating a hole in the courtyard of the castle.

International Cooperation
After Trill Euphoria was sent to Friedonia to serve as the Gran Chaos Empire's ambassador, and to meet her hero Genia Maxwell, the idea for a drilling device became an international project which ultimately saw the Empire, Friedonia, and the Republic of Turgis having members on the small team; Trill representing the Empire, Genia Maxwell and Merula Merlin representing Friedonia, and Taru Ozumi representing Turgis.

The project lead to the development of the Little Piecer model of drill device with the current type being Mark XII.
