Tangle mine



Tangle mines were military weapons invented by Sokka's father, Hakoda.

Design
The tangle mines are made with a bamboo frame and covered with dried animal skin. Inside, the mine is filled with skunkfish and seaweed. These mines float in the water and detonate when a ship hits them. Upon detonation, the seaweed will tangle around the propeller of the ship, incapacitating it. Meanwhile, the smell from the skunkfish will force people to abandon ship. Though they are a very unusual mine, they are extremely effective.

Trivia

 * Hakoda called them the stink 'n sink being that they're "destructive, buoyant, and terrible smelling," according to Sokka.
