Screaming Carapace Pendant

This pendant is made from the hardened carapace of a Xenomorph Queen, shaped into a grotesque visage that seems to scream silently in the presence of others. While wearing this pendant, you gain advantage on Intimidation checks and can use a bonus action to unleash a terrifying screech once per long rest, forcing creatures of your choice within 30 feet to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 13) or become frightened for 1 minute.

However, the pendant's sinister aura also draws the attention of predatory creatures in your vicinity. Any creature that can sense your presence (such as beasts or monstrosities) has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to find you. Additionally, you have disadvantage on saves against being frightened due to the unsettling nature of the pendant. Those familiar with Xenomorphs might view you with suspicion rather than respect, impacting your social interactions.

The Xenomorph Queen likely crafted this item from its own shed carapace as part of its natural lifecycle, creating tools and items from organic materials in its lair. Those who wear it carry a piece of the Queen's primal essence, tapping into the fearsome legacy of this terrifying monstrosity.
