The creature, once imprinted with the genetic makeup of its host, is able to seamlessly replicate the look, feel, and functionality of a regular human arm, with the added ability of sprouting a jagged blade from the palm. The creature will subconsciously drive its host to consume more than the average person in order to glean some sustenance and sustain itself.
The creature requires a genetic imprint of the original limb that it is replacing, and must entirely consume the limb that it replaces. If the original limb is regained, it ceases to function, reverting to an amorphous wad of fleshy substance.
If the artifact this gift is attached to has the Sultende Klo gift as well, it may be used as the grindhouse weapon in place of a regular knife.
