Requires
Attunement by a
Cleric,
Druid, or
WarlockYou can use an
Action to speak this staff's
Command word and throw the staff on the ground within 10 feet of you. The staff becomes a giant
Constrictor Snake (see the
Monster Manual for statistics) under your control and acts on its own
Initiative count. By using a bonus
Action to speak the
Command word again, you
Return the staff to its normal form in a space formerly occupied by the snake.
On
Your Turn, you can mentally
Command the snake if it is within 60 feet of you and you aren't
Incapacitated. You decide what
Action the snake takes and where it moves during its next turn, or you can issue it a general
Command, such as to
Attack your
Enemies or guard a
Location.
If the snake is reduced to 0
Hit Points, it dies and reverts to its staff form. The staff then shatters and is destroyed. If the snake reverts to staff form before losing all its
Hit Points, it regains all of them.
