Caltrops (so named for various plants with several tips to them) are, were, can be, balls with spikes on them; so which ever way it lands on the ground, one point will always be pointed upward. It's a denial weapon, used to keep people away from an area...for use against anything that can be punctured; feet, tires, animal's hoofs, etc. Last known publicized use was in Vietnam.
