| Koohii Story 1 | You paint 10 huge eyes on your shield to scare the enemy, but consequently your shield is so big and heavy that you have to drag it. |
| Koohii Story 2 | From Wikipedia: "If a Spartan hoplite were to return to Sparta alive and without his shield, it was assumed that he threw his shield at the enemy in an effort to flee; an act punishable by death or banishment." Picture the enemy of a Spartan soldier poking his eyes out with a sewing needle and trying to steal his shield. However, the Spartan desperately clutches on, and is dragged around for a while, preferring to die than to lose his shield. |
