This weapon is a heavily modified chainsaw, designed for combat rather than cutting wood. It features two large, rotating chainsaw blades with sharp, jagged teeth on either side. The blades are mounted on a sturdy, industrial-grade body, complete with a thick handle that mimics the grip of a traditional chainsaw. The handle includes authentic details such as a pull cord and exhaust pipes, making it look like a powerful engine ready to roar to life. The metal components have a dark, rugged appearance, suggesting a weapon that's been through many battles. This design combines the brutal functionality of a chainsaw with the lethal intent of a combat weapon, creating a fearsome tool of destruction.
This Artifact can be used as a throwing axe. It is roughly at least twice as large as a throwing axe and cannot be concealed on your person or disassembled for storage.

The creature, once imprinted with the genetic makeup of its host, is able to seamlessly replicate the look, feel, and functionality of a regular human arm, with the added ability of sprouting a jagged blade from the palm. The creature will subconsciously drive its host to consume more than the average person in order to glean some sustenance and sustain itself.
The creature requires a genetic imprint of the original limb that it is replacing, and must entirely consume the limb that it replaces. If the original limb is regained, it ceases to function, reverting to an amorphous wad of fleshy substance.
