Dracon beam

From Seerowpedia

The Dracon beam of the low-budget TV show. The beams in the books are a lot less similar to flashlights.

Dracon beams are Yeerk handheld weapons. They are "a blending of Andalite Shredder technology with some Ongachic particle-wave technology". While the Shredders are designed to cause little pain when used on an animal, the Dracon beams were purposefully altered to inflict pain. The Dracon beam is the smaller, less powerful version of the Dracon cannon, which is the weapon that is more usually mounted on ships. Both Dracon beams and Shredders have been compared to the phasers from Star Trek.
