Aboleth Choker (5e Equipment)
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement) This choker seems to resemble an Aboleth's tentacle. When you put this choker on, you must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or the choker will come to life and sink into your neck the two small tentacles will sprout out of the back of your neck and wrap around your neck connecting at the front. After one day your teeth will turn into sharp fangs and you will sprout four prehensile tentacles from your back, each of which can lift up to 5 pounds from your back. These can be easily hidden under your normal clothing. As a bonus action on your turn, you may attack a creature within 5 feet of you with these tentacles. Upon hitting they deal 2d8 + your Strength modifier piercing damage. After ten days the choker vanishes, subsuming into your flesh. For the next twenty days your skin will grow colder and clammier, the tentacles will grow larger and your swim speed will improve by ten feet every two days. By the end of this period you will mostly resemble an Aboleth and on the thirtieth day from putting the choker on you will be compelled to head towards the ocean by any means available to you. On reaching salt water you will fully transform into a juvenile Aboleth and vanish into the sea. The choker can only be removed via remove curse or similar magic for the first ten days. As the transformation deepens more powerful magic like wish or a special ritual may be required. If the choker is not removed, spells like polymorph and true polymorph will only offer temporary relief from the transformation process as they do not remove the cursed item. |
