Translation sphere

Translation Spheres are special translation devices carried by the Ood. In order to use it, an Ood presses a button on the sphere, and speaks into the tube, which must be in their mouths for the sphere to work.

As a weapon
When activated, translation Spheres are extremely dangerous to non-Oods. If it touches the forhead of a human for example, the forhead will light up, crackle with electricity, and the human will drop to the floor, dead.

There are two ways that the Ood can use it as a weapon. First they can throw it at victim, let it spring back, and catch it. Or they could simply place it on someone's forehead.

Other notes
It is unknown if the tube of the sphere is permanently fixed in an Ood's mouth or not, as no Oods are seen without the tube in their mouths.

They can also attach it to the pockets of their tunics.
