This curved tactical dagger is not forged from metal, but grown from the rib bone of a Lunar Wraith 🧟, a bioluminescent predatory creature that haunts the permanently shadowed craters of the Moon 🌕. Its blade’s flowing, vein-like patterns are the creature’s actual vascular system, preserved and hardened by the lunar vacuum. When the dagger cuts flesh, these channels siphon blood into the handle’s porous core, where it is converted into a bioluminescent fluid that glows with a faint, silver light. The perforated, wave-patterned grip is lined with sensory nodes that detect the victim’s bioelectrical signals, allowing the wielder to track them even in complete darkness.

However, the weapon carries a parasitic curse. The Lunar Wraith’s cells are still alive in the dagger’s bone structure, and they slowly feed on the user’s blood to survive. Those who wield it for more than a week begin to experience vivid hallucinations of the Moon’s frozen wastelands, and their skin starts to develop a pale, silver hue that matches the dagger’s glow ✨. Worse, the Wraith’s consciousness lingers in the blade, urging the user to hunt more prey to satisfy its hunger. During a 2287 smuggling run, a thief using the dagger became so consumed by the urge to kill that he massacred his entire crew, leaving only the glowing dagger behind.

The dagger was recovered by the Lunar Colonial Authority 🚀, who sealed it in a radiation-shielded vault. But a cult that worships the Lunar Wraith broke in and stole it, believing it to be a "key" to awakening the creature’s dormant hive. Today, it is used in their nocturnal rituals, where it is known as the "Moon-Eater"—a weapon that feeds on both its victims and its wielder.
