silver arrow
Vintage German racer
A silver arrow is a projectile made of or coated with silver, prominent in folklore and fantasy as a weapon against supernatural creatures—particularly werewolves, vampires, and other beings immune to ordinary weapons.
The silver supposedly carries purifying or holy properties: Only a silver arrow through the heart could kill the beast.
The concept parallels the more common silver bullet.
