I'm playing through Suikoden III for about the fifth time, and I'm in Chris's Chapter One. I just passed the part where Salome explains to Borus what a "gride" is. Now, he says that the gride is a weapon used by the Lizard Clan. My question is, are grides the weapon used ingame by the Lizards, or are they a Lizard Clan weapon that we never see used? It's not really important, but I'm just curious.

It's the spear used by the Lizards.

"Grides" is a mistranslation. They are really called Glides.

Yes, when you look at the weapon names from the menu they are glides. But in the dialogue they are grides. Funny how that works out eh?

The "correct" term would probably be glide, since a spear can glide through the air when attacking an enemy.

I'm not even sure if gride is a real word.
