Never seen in the same place twice, the claw of Vulkoor is considered by many drow to be the greatest boon their god can bestow. Its appearance is always heralded by an eruption of the forest floor, from which swarms of scorpions rise. After them comes a great jade claw. The scorpions circle reverently around the mighty claw before fading from view.
The claw of Vulkoor grants the power to summon scorpion allies to those who pay a price. Only those strong in their faith to Vulkoor can undertake this ritual; all others who touch the claw convulse and die.
Made from one piece of solid jade, the claw of Vulkoor is over 12 feet tall and inscribed with intricate detail. The inside of the claw is a razor-sharp serrated edge. Its segmented base is covered in prayers to Vulkoor, written in Drow.
Scorpions, both ordinary and monstrous, seem drawn to the claw and can usually be found in the immediate vicinity or crawling across the claw’s surface. These vermin do not attack drow and those loyal to Vulkoor, but all others are at risk.
