Random subject that I found myself curious about, but what are some stories, where one of the key components is some kind of "living" weapon. And I don't mean like a person that gets augmented to a be a living weapon. I mean like actual, sentient weapons, that someone uses in battle. Most of the examples I can think of are usually some kind of cursed blade, and it's some edgy emo shit where it "feeds on the souls of the victims" or whatever, and always tries to tempt the wielder into killing more. Basically just a Devil in object form.
I'd rather have more interesting examples than that frankly. What set this idea off, was watching a clip from a Game Grumps episode of...I think it's Skyward Sword? The one with the birds and the goddess, and the floaty blue/purple girl who constantly talks to Link...or Spoomples in their game
Anyway, the clip suggested that she was a program of some kind, but that she was the sword as well? Never played it so just guessing, but I liked the idea of a computer version of a "living weapon." So I was curious about other examples that were cool, and not just FEED ME BLOOD SEYMOUR! kind of shit.
Anyone know of examples that were interesting in various stories?
