This bizarre weapon is crafted from the bones of an ancient, prehistoric creature, each section carved and reinforced until it forms a series of interlocking bone segments. When dormant, it appears to be a massive, single-edged bastard sword with an unusually segmented blade.
With a command word, the weapon transforms. The blade separates into dozens of razor-sharp bone segments connected by magically reinforced links, becoming a long, flexible chain whip. With another command word, the segments instantly lock back together, reforming the bastard sword.
