The Grizzly’s Paw
This artifact… may be cursed. Then again, it may not be cursed. There is some debate on the issue.
Like its distant cousin the Monkey’s Paw the Grizzly’s Paw is a dried-out, leathery full foot (only larger than a Monkey’s Paw, of course). And like the Monkey’s Paw the Grizzly’s Paw gives three wishes. The major difference is that, while the Monkey’s Paw invariably twists the intent of the wish to create the worst possible way to fulfill it, the Grizzly’s Paw always fulfill the wish somehow by suddenly introducing a semi-rampaging bear into the mix. And by ‘suddenly’ I mean ‘the bear will appear out of nowhere.’ This can alarm people – but not as much as the way that the bear will disappear once the wish is fulfilled.
