Cattle prod (Earth-7149)

A cattle prod is a civilian handheld device used onboard spaceships and installations to move cattle and other types of livestock by poking them using high-voltage.

History
In 2552, Samuel Brett improvised several cattle prods in the hopes of helping the crew of the Nostromo to kill the extraterrestrial lifeform that violently merged from his crewmember Thomas Kane. One cattle prod was later used by Joan Lambert to send an electrostactic current that disabled and subdued by Ash, revealing him to be a Replicant.
