The Chitauri Staff is one of the weapons used by the Chitauri troops that invaded Earth during the Battle of New York.

History
The Chitauri Staff is an energy weapon shaped as a one meter, mainly used by the Chitauri ground troops as powerful mid-ranged weapon, instead of the long-ranged Chitauri Gun used by aerial troops. The back of the staff end has a club, allowing the staff to double as a melee weapon at close range.

During the battle, Natasha Romanoff acquired one of these weapons, and uses it both as melee weapon and firing the staff against the Chitauri.

It is unknown if the Chitauri Staff is being reverse-engineered like the similar Chitauri Guns.
