This weapon falls into the Ranged Weapons category. It is a two-handed weapon
Shortbows are a starter ranged weapon, stronger than a sling, but requiring two hands to wield. You'll likely want to upgrade to a longbow quickly, unless you are a spriggan. You can find shortbows on centaurs throughout the game; sometimes, they'll even be enchanted.
