very rare (requires attunement)
This golden mask has been fashioned in into the likeness of a human skull and exudes an aura of undeath. Once per long rest the mask may be loosed from the wearer's face. It flies up to 50 feet away and attacks a humanoid target assigned to it.
The grinning skull mask animates at attempts to attach to the face of the target. The target must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw. It takes 7d8+30 necrotic damage and the mask latches onto the face of the target on a failed save.
A humanoid killed by this effect rises at the start of your next turn as a weight that is permanently under your command, following your verbal orders to the best of its ability.
If the target does not die the mask flied back to its user.
The mask has an AC of 16 and 20 hit points. If it is ever destroyed it explodes with necrotic energy. Every living creature within 60 feet must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or take 7d8+30 damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. If a creature is killed by this effect, on the start of its next turn it rises as a zombie.
