The ango is a specialized spear designed for use in seal hunting. This two-handed weapon is among the heaviest spears (along with the wide trident). It shares the high Point rating of the northern spear and the Kaumolais spear. As with any spear, the ango can be used for fishing, and combat damage is effected by the Spear skill.
Availability
The ango is an uncommon item, but hunters of all cultures have a chance to own one, with Islanders probably having the highest chance.
URW Game Encyclopedia description
