Wabbajack (Skyrim)

The Wabbajack is a Daedric Artifact of Sheogorath, given during the quest "The Mind of Madness".

Description
Wabbajack is a mysterious staff that casts an unpredictable spell which ranges from transforming enemies into other creatures to casting a random Destruction spell to even healing your enemies. This can completely change a battle by transforming an enemy into something weaker, like a bunny, or possibly something much stronger, like a Dremora.

The Wabbajack is one of five Daedric Artifacts made by the Daedric Prince of Madness, Sheogorath. Its unpredictable nature is a reflection upon Sheogorath's own chaos, choosing at random to either help or hinder those he or it encounters.

Trivia

 * Although Wabbajack is a Daedric Artifact, it can be drained and must be recharged. It can both damage and transform Dragons.
 * The head of the staff resembles three of Sheogorath's faces in differing moods that the daedric lord tends to jump through during conversation, and life.
 * If the staff's effect that transforms the target into a mud crab is cast on a mud crab, it will grow larger.
 * If you hit an npc that has low health and they turn into a dremora, you can punch them to turn them back but they will turn back naked.
 * There is an NPC "Madwoman" that can appear at random locations who asks to be hit with a spell from the Wabbajack. (even if the Wabbajack is not in your possession)
 * If you do her bidding, you may sometimes gain a bounty if you're inside a hold city, but the bounty usually disappears again in a short time.
 * When placed on a weapon rack, the "happy face" is placed outward.
 * At low levels, the Wabbajack can prove very effective and handy against dragons, taking only 5-6 hits to kill.
 * In keeping with the Lewis Carroll theme of insanity and allusions to 'Alice in Wonderland', the name of the artifact could be seen as a pun on the title of the poem 'Jabberwocky ', also written by Lewis Carroll.
 * Sometimes, If you pick up the transformed sweet roll, The image will still be there, But you can't pick it up.
 * If it transforms something and you attack it is will transform back.
 * The Wabbajack is based on the Rod of Wonder, from d20 games.

Bugs

 * Transformation effects on guards do not change them, but instead summons whatever they were supposed to change into next to them. However this often makes the guard stop attacking you.
 * When attacking a creature and it dies while the transformation is happening it may spawn that item.
 * Attacking a summoned Dremora Lord with Wabbajack may cause the game to crash.
 * When given to followers, it appears to only do the damage effect rather than the variety of transformation effects it was intended to do.
 * If a spawned Demora lord fades while decapitating sometimes they remain alive without a head, but when you speak to them their speech options don't work, rendering them useless.
 * The Wabbajack seems to disappear when placed in a weapon display case in Hjerim.
