I Need Legendary Weapon Ideas

[Indigoblade]

Exactly what the title says, I want to make an armory of legendary weapons that are both lore friendly and unique in every way. I am only putting them into the boss chest, dragon, and boss enemies lvl list to make each of those things way more rewarding and fun... I want to make 100s of new weapons each with their own back stories and abilities... but I can barely think of like a dozen right now... Can you guys give me some ideas? Suggestions are great, but things to get inspired by would be even better! A list of legendary weapons from other games, random weapon generators, a good book filled with legendary weapon type ideas, ect.

Finally if you are suggesting a weapon idea, please make it look like the following:

Wolfbiter
1-hand axe
Ability: After killing a human foe, a spirit of a wolf comes to fight for you for 15 seconds, deals increased damage to animals at night, increase running speed
Backstory: Created for Hircine's followers who loved to chase down their prey, the Wolfbiter is a prized weapon for any who wished to hunt animals with their hand weapons. They say the souls of those men who are slaughtered by this axe forever belong to Hircine and become spirit wolves that fight for their slayer for a bit before fading into Hircine's realm.

Anything else after that is great but I need at least this amount of info to even consider it!
Thanks for the ideas! I'll list all of the ones I think I can do here

Sword of the Righteous

2-handed greatsword

Specialty: deal double damage to evil creations, wielder receives damage instead if uses the sword to attack good human, the sword is removed if wielder has >0 murder stat

Story: the greatsword was created by a noble knight and blessed by Stendarr, who replied to his oath to use the sword to protect people only. Like many legendary artifacts, the sword has the mind on its own. Being a creation of purity, it will refuse to hurt anything it considers good and punish its wielder at the same time. The sword will remain with its wielder as long as he remains faithful to the oath that created it.

This one is good! Reminds me of the knights of the nine set from oblivion! I can make something for this

The Swift Fox: A short rapier that has %30 chance to hit the enemy with 10 direct thrusts(magic or something, I don't know). Good for thief or assassin characters that get physical from time to time. Found in Mercer Frey's secret room.

Sounds neat. If I think of any I'll let you know.

Uhh... Okay I got it! A sword that has a 30% chance to do 10x sneak damage instead of whatever it is normally! Each swing will still take up charge, I MAY have to add in a bit more abilities to make it a bit more legendary but I like it!

YES THINK GO MY BRAIN WAVES OF CREATIVITY ARE TOO WEAK NOW
