The Clown Killer “Little Trickster” appears as a small, ominous knife with a sleek, polished blade that gleams with a faint, unsettling light. The blade’s edge is razor-sharp, and its surface seems to subtly shift, as if alive with dark energy. The hilt is wrapped in a strange, leathery material that feels warm and slightly pulsating, as though it has a heartbeat of its own. Despite its small size, the knife carries an unusual weight, giving it an air of latent danger. When held, the weapon emanates a faint, almost imperceptible whisper, adding to its eerie presence.
This Artifact can be used as a knife. It is roughly the same size as a knife and just as difficult to conceal.
