Wondrous Item, legendary

A Mask of the Fantastic Beast is a mask forged with powerful, raw energy, allowing there wearer to harness the power of that beast and cast polymorph on himself, turning them into that creature. But the creatures natural instincts may become to overpowering for the wielder.. Each mask provides the wearer with different benefits:

Inseparable. After 1 minute of use, the user must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become cursed. The user will begin to grow more and more attached to the mask, unwilling to part with it, wearing it more, sometimes even without realizing that they put it on. If they are separated from the mask, the user will go into a frenzy to get it back. They will begin acting in ways that would be common for the beast in which the mask is in the likeness of. The curse can only be ended with a remove curse spell cast at 5th level or higher.

Feral Instincts. After 1d4 days of the curse being active, the mask will fuse with the user’s face and after every long rest, the user must make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be forcefully polymorphic into the beast and won’t be able to revert back until after 1d4 hours. Every time the user fails a saving throw, their Wisdom will be reduced by 1d4 + 2. After this Phase commences, you will need a greater restoration spell more powerful spells to remove the curse and the users Wisdom score will revert back to what it was before the second phase of the curse began.

Mind of a Beast. If the user’s Wisdom score is reduced to 0, the user will forcefully polymorphed one last time. Their stats, abilities, and alignments will change to those of the beast. The character will then fall under the DM’s control. The only way to revert the user back to normal is through divine intervention or a true resurrection spell. If returned to normal, the user will return to the state it was in before Phase 2 of the curse began, but with a permanent -2 to the users Wisdom score. The user may still show strange and animal like tendencies. Also the user may still show minor physical changes such as sharp nails, more hair, long tongue, etc.
