Definition: short stake with spring-driven clapper at one end. The purpose: to be driven into the sand and set "thumping" to summon shai-hulud.
Commentary: Once again, the native population has created an obvious, effective solution to one of the problems of the desert – the sandworm. Once it was understood how to draw sandworms away from spice harvesting sites using thumpers, spice yields increased by 15%. Of course, the sandworm always comes so thumpers have a limited efficiency in the long run.
