Notes
Part of the Flesh Collector Set.

With a poor projectile speed and barely more damage per second than the Dagger of Foul Malevolence, this item is not recommended unless used with other items in the set.

The projectile speed can make it much more difficult to hit a fast-moving target; as such, this dagger is recommended to be used against stationary targets to make the most out of it.

However, due to its long lifetime, moving away from a chasing target allows for the effective range of the dagger to be much farther than its stated range, allowing enemies as far as 12 tiles away to be hit when retreating at 75 SPD. This allows for much safer farming of the godlands.

When the entire Flesh Collector set is equipped, the weapon projectile changes to:
Parasitic Blast

History
Before Patch X.33.1.0 (May 2020), this item had a Feed Power of 750.

Before Exalt Version 1.1.0.0 (Sep 2020), this item had a damage of 117-190. This made it the most powerful dagger in the game at the time, beating out both the Dirk of Cronus and the Etherite Dagger. Much like the controversy with the Etherite Dagger of years prior, many were upset at how overpowered and pay-to-win the item was.

It used to have the following sprite:
