A "Spiked Trap" is a type of device designed to capture or injure an intruder. It typically consists of a concealed pit or area filled with sharp spikes or pointed objects. When someone steps on or falls into the trap, the spikes can cause injury, immobilizing the person and preventing them from advancing. These traps are often associated with medieval warfare and fantasy settings, where they were used to protect castles or valuable areas. In modern contexts, spiked traps are sometimes referenced in video games and movies as a dramatic element to heighten tension or danger.
