Wondrous Item, Rare, Consumable
The Catoblepas may look like a misbegotten assemblage of parts, but its gaze is deadly enough that even experienced hunters shy away from the swamps of the Diaspora. If a hunter can successfully harvest a catoblepas, they may be able to recover an obliterator gland from within its neck. This gland is full of an unstable magical compound that causes living matter to be repelled by its own tissue. This can cause spectacular and deadly results when used as a weapon.
With the gland in your hand, you may squeeze it to rupture the outer membrane and send a deadly jet of black liquid toward a target within 20 feet. The target must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, taking 36 (8d8) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target instead takes 64 necrotic damage. If the creature is reduced to 0 hit points by this attack, its body explodes in a fountain of gore that coats everything within 10 feet of where the creature used to exist. The creature can be restored to life only by means of a true resurrection or a wish spell.
