The beartrap's main purpose is to clamp onto your leg, damaging it and prevent you from moving, however if it is made of a strong enough material, it can simply sever your limb.<br>
Sometimes when planting a beartrap for your own use, you can get caught in it by accident. The chance of this happening increases if you are [[Character|burdened, stressed]], [[exhausted]] or fainting.<br>
Other bodyparts can also get caught whilst trying to escape from the beartrap, and occasionally trying to free yourself will damage any one of your trapped bodyparts. Be warned that getting your head stuck in a beartrap is one of the easiest ways to die, as the amount of damage necessary to sever your head is very, ''very'' small.
You can deactivate beartraps by kicking them, picking them up whilst levitating, or breaking them somehow (e.g. an explosion.)<br>
