Arthanox the Malevolent
Very Rare Wondrous Item (Sentient, Cursed)
Fate of the Finger Puppet. This puppet comes to life when you place it on your finger. Arthanox is sentient and independent. He rolls his own initiative in combat. He can cast the Firebolt, Mending, and Prestidigitation cantrips at will. He can cast Fireball (5th level) once per long rest. His spell attack modifier is +7, and his spell save DC is 17.
Personality. Arthanox can communicate verbally and his alignment is Chaotic Evil. He used to be a cruel old wizard but it is unclear even to himself how he came to be a finger puppet. His ultimate goal is to return back to normal (and possibly world domination).
Eternal Toy (Curse). Once Arthanox is on your finger, he cannot be removed, but while Arthanox is on your finger, you can still use your hands normally. Attempting to remove him requires an Intelligence saving throw (DC 25). On a failed save, you take 2d8 Psychic damage. On a successful save, Arthanox detaches. The fabric Arthanox is made from cannot be cut by mundane means. If he is ever destroyed, his soul will inhabit a new wizard puppet hidden in a random toy box somewhere on the Material Plane within a year.
