Toothy Maw

If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding.

These macabre sections of skull and jawbone have been shaped loosely into a half mask of sorts. There are no straps or visible ways of holding the mask in place yet, once affixed, it takes quite the effort to remove. When worn, the wielder's actual mouth is still visible, but the overlaid sections of bone move seamlessly with their jaw, as if there's another row of teeth. Upon inspection, the metal teeth within the jaw are engraved with deeply carven runes that hint to an origin both foul and dark.
