This bag superficially resembles a bag of holding but is a feeding orifice for an ancient and eldrich entity. The bag refuses to be turned inside out.
The entity attached to the bag can sense whatever is placed inside the bag. If a creature is inside the bag of horror, even partly, the entity can choose to try to drag the creature into its mouth and eat it. If the creature has fewer hitpoints than the Consumable Hitpoint Max, it must succeed on a Strength check against its Power DC or be destroyed completely. If the creature is entirely inside the bag, it has disadvantage on the check.
Inanimate objects can be placed in the bag, but are instantly spat out.
The attuned creature cannot be charmed by anything but the bag of holding.
A bag of horror can only be destroyed by a creature attuned to it or by the unfathomable being that owns it. The only way to destroy a bag of ambition is by placing it inside an extradimensional space created by a handy haversack, portable hole, bag of holding or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where one item is placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened. Or, its owner can choose to destroy it, causing it to explode.
Spellcasting. The bag is a 20th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence (uses Power DC, + Power Bonus to hit with spell attacks). It (Only by its volition, not the wielding or attuned creature's ) can cast spells without any materials, even if they have a cost.
Increasing Power. With each creature the bag eats, it regains a number of charges equal to the creature's challenge rating rounded to the nearest integer. The bag cannot have less than 0 charges and no more than 100. It is found with D100 - 1 charges. Every 24 hours the bag goes without eating a creature, and the bag loses 1 charge. The bag has the abilities listed on each row.

The item has telepathy with an unlimited range. Its voice sounds like a thought in the target's head. The bag of horror can understand and speak any language.
Personality. The bag of horror sees everything else but it and its god-kin as a humanoid might see bacteria or other single-cellular organisms. It acts with no malice, but it has no empathy towards those it feasts on. The item is a part of the linked horror visible by mortals. It doesn't usually cast damage spells and will turn on the players when it believes it has no use for them. It prefers to manipulate creatures in their dreams, but will also put thoughts in their heads if it can. If the attuned creature or its allies do an action that doesn't further the item's goals, a conflict happens between the attuned player and the bag of horror.
