A Sentient 60-foot length of animated hemp rope, faintly warm to the touch and perpetually restless. It wiggles, loops, or coils when idle, and often knots itself in playful or dramatic fashion. It is a sentient chaotic good magic item with the following traits:

• Personality. Playful, mischievous, and loyal. It behaves like a curious pet, enjoys games (especially tug-of-war), and delights in puns about “tying up loose ends.” Despite its antics, it is protective of its wielder and companions.
• Companion Bond. the rope requires a short rest to bond with a creature. Once bonded, it treats that creature as its “friend” and obeys their commands. If its bonded wielder dies, the rope goes inert. In mourning, it coils tightly and refuses to loosen for days until claimed by a new companion.
• Quirk. It insists on being given a name by its companions, refusing to accept any until one “feels right.” Once named, it becomes very protective of that identity.
• Mending. If cut into pieces, the rope can repair itself. As a Magic action, the wielder can cause all pieces of the rope in contact with one another (and not otherwise in use) to knit back together. If any section is lost or destroyed, the rope is permanently shortened.
• Carrying Capacity: Can hold up to 3,000 pounds.
• Durability: When reduced to 0 hit points, the rope falls inert and unravels into pieces as though it had frayed apart. If gathered together, it can be restored by the wielder using a Magic action to mend it, or it will attempt to mend itself after 1d4 long rests. If any section of the rope is lost or destroyed, it is permanently shortened. Magical fire or a disintegrate spell destroys it utterly.
