A Denn'bok, or fighting pike is a traditional weapon carried by members of the Minbari warrior caste as well as members of the Anla'Shok. Consisting of a retractable metal-alloy staff about five feet long when fully extended, the denn'bok became something of a signature symbol for the Anla'Shok. By tradition, only those deemed worthy by the F'hursna may train with or own a denn'bok. During Ranger training, a wooden analogue is used in lieu of an actual pike in sparring sessions.
