Crowbill or Military Pick

One of my favorite characters was William Crowbill. He was a rather large gnome, with a huge beer gut who wore a chain shirt, leather breeches, high hard boots, spit tobacco so regularly that it stayed in  his beard and stained his lips and right cheek (where he spit backwards). He carried a crowbill in battle, hence his name, William Crowbill.

A crowbill is little more than a military pick as noted in the picture below. But the name crowbill is so much better than military pick.
