Armor (Shield), Very Rare (Requires Attunement)

While holding this Shield, you can take a Bonus Action to cause it to animate. The Shield leaps into the air and hovers in your space to protect you as if you were wielding it, leaving your hands free. The Shield remains animate for 1 minute, until you take a Bonus Action to end this effect, or until you die or have the Incapacitated condition, at which point the Shield falls to the ground or into your hand if you have one free.

This milk-white horn is fashioned from the tine of a great stag's antler. A vremyonni enchanted it that it may grant flight to berserkers as they charge into the battle. Despite its size, it creates the sound of a bellowing war horn when blown.

This spongy, flavorless, gelatinous bead dissolves on your tongue and provides as much nourishment as 1 day of rations.

This item is found in Xanathar’s Guide to Everything.

This black leather apron is perpetually covered by blood, even after being washed off. You gain the following benefits while wearing the apron:

Once per turn when you roll damage for a melee attack with a weapon, you can reroll the weapon’s damage dice. If you do so, you must use the second total.
Your weapon attacks that deal slashing damage score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
While wearing this cloak, you have Advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. In an area of Dim Light or Darkness, you can grip the edges of the cloak and use it to gain a Fly Speed of 40 feet. If you ever fail to grip the cloak’s edges while flying in this way, or if you are no longer in Dim Light or Darkness, you lose this Fly Speed.

While wearing the cloak in an area of Dim Light or Darkness, you can cast Polymorph on yourself, shape-shifting into a Bat. While in that form, you retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. The cloak can’t be used this way again until the next dawn.

The fabric of this cloak flows through your hands like smoke rising from a fire, fed by unseen winds. When you use this cloak, the shape you assume is similarly smoke-like and appears to be made of shadow.

Produced by a special needle, this magic tattoo has long intertwining designs.

Tattoo Attunement. To attune to this item, you hold the needle to your skin where you want the tattoo to appear, pressing the needle there throughout the attunement process. When the attunement is complete, the needle turns into the ink that becomes the tattoo, which appears on the skin.

If your attunement to the tattoo ends, the tattoo vanishes, and the needle reappears in your space.

Grasping Tendrils. While the tattoo is on your skin, you can, as an action, cause the tattoo to extrude into inky tendrils, which reach for a creature you can see within 15 feet of you. The creature must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or take 3d6 force damage and be grappled by you. As an action, the creature can escape the grapple by succeeding on a DC 14 Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. The grapple also ends if you halt it (no action required), if the creature is ever more than 15 feet away from you, or if you use this tattoo on a different creature. This item is found in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything.

Wicked. Formerly wielded by fearsome marauders and monsters of Wildspace, this pseudo-sentient tattoo yearns to hunt and pillage. When the bearer is presented with an opportunity to act in a selfish or malevolent way, the item heightens the bearer’s urge to do so.

Wondrous Item, Very Rare (requires attunement)

This delicate silver tiara is decorated with stellar iconography. While you wear the crown, the gems on the tiara’s points detach and closely orbit your head. The crown has 6 charges for the following properties, which you can use while wearing the crown:

Star Flight. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 charge to gain the power of flight for 10 minutes. For the duration, you gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed, and you can hover. While flying, you glow faintly with starlight.

Starlight Strike. As an action, you can spend any number of charges to launch bolts of frigid starlight. You launch a number of bolts equal to the number of charges spent, and you can direct the bolts to target one creature or several, so long as all creatures are within 120 feet of you and you can see them. The bolts automatically strike their targets, and each bolt deals 2d4 cold damage.
