Jaw Bone is an unlockable passive item added in Booster Pack #5.

Effects

• Spawns a familiar that fires across the room in the direction of the first tear fired and returns to Isaac when it hits a wall, similarly to Little ChubbyA familiar that charges forward and deals touch damage to any enemies in its path.. Deals a flat 7 damage to enemies that come in contact with it.
  • When thrown, the familiar will pierce through enemies if they are killed by the familiar, but the familiar will bounce back to Isaac if the enemy is not killed.
  • The familiar will pass through obstacles.
  • The familiar can retrieve pickups like The BoomerangThrows a short-range boomerang which does a bit of damage and has a high chance to stun the enemy for 2 seconds. Can also be used to grab pickups..
  • Blocks enemy tears when stationary and when thrown.
  • After returning to Isaac, it has a short recharge time before it can be fired again.

Notes

• Just like The BoomerangThrows a short-range boomerang which does a bit of damage and has a high chance to stun the enemy for 2 seconds. Can also be used to grab pickups., Jaw Bone can grab pickups through obstacles and will not grab Troll Bombs.

• Duct TapeStops Isaac's familiars from moving.: Jaw Bone will face in the same direction as Isaac and remain stationary as opposed to trailing behind him. Jaw Bone can still be fired.

Trivia
