The Mandelbrot is an arc bomb-firing cannon and a weapon in the game Steamlands. It is similar to the Matryoshka, both in appearance and in ammunition used.
Appearance
The Mandelbrot has a base with two bolts and a plaque-like object on it. The Matryoshka's base is smaller than the Mandelbrot, as the Mandelbrot has four bolts instead of two. The base holds up two gold half-gear like objects and a piece of metal in the back exactly the same as the one on the Matryoshka (this is probably the reason for the two extra screws).
The cannon for the Mandelbrot is longer than the one on the Matryoshka, but other than the height is exactly the same as the one on the Matryoshka.
Game information
The Mandelbrot fires a bomb flashing red on the bottom that breaks up into three medium sized bombs which break up into three small bombs. The Mandelbrot has a starting health of 450 and can be upgraded to 495.

| Description: | The creator of this weapon went mad designing the ammunition for this weapon. He's been spotted in town drinking from a horse trough and offering to sell designs for more damaging ammo. | An engineer in a nearby village says that he can adapt the Mandelbrot's to have armour within armour. Unfortunately his his services are not for free. | There's a shop here that sells an unidentified box that apparently makes the Mandelbrot fire faster. It works of course, but will you buy it? |
