This irregularly shaped piece of natural amber is fastened at the end of a long golden chain. Within the amber a tiny creature still seems to twitch.
This item summons a giant vermin that appears and obeys your commands for 1 minute (as if summoned by summon nature’s ally). At the end of this duration, the creature vanishes.
Eight varieties of the amber amulet of vermin exist (see the table for the details of each version; the name of each creature is hyperlinked to its statistics block). An amber amulet of vermin works once per day.
