Gnawed Leaf

Gnawed Leaf is a passive item.

Effects

 * Upon pickup, Isaac gets a small brown ringtail.
 * After standing still and not pressing the move or attack buttons for one second, Isaac will turn into an invincible statue.
 * Using bombs and active items will remove the invincibility state.
 * Bombs can be placed while stationary and safely be stood on until they blow up if no other inputs are done after placing the bomb.

Synergies

 * One of the more versatile familiars that works with Gnawed Leaf. The varied forms and attacks of this familiar make it capable of clearing pretty much any room given time.  The locusts it produces often fly to Isaac which takes care of chasing enemies, but its damaging creep and chasing attacks can reach even the farthest enemies.
 * Aggressively attacks enemies even if they're far away, but can end up harmlessly orbiting slow or stationary enemies indefinitely, or trying to attack invulnerable enemies. It does better with slow or stationary bosses than regular enemies, diving in to attack periodically instead of harmlessly orbiting.
 * Allows Isaac to easily clear most rooms or bosses while in statue form. Daddy Longlegs cannot damage bosses like The Shell and won't target enemies that are a long distance from Isaac.
 * While Isaac is surrounded by enemies, he will not take damage and will safely go into the shadow state. (Even if enemies are in pointblank range.)
 * / / /: Monsters touching the statue will be affected without Isaac taking collision damage.
 * if Empty Vessel's requirement is fulfilled, the player can safely wait for the shield to activate, allowing to deal damage without leaving invulnerability.
 * : Statue form will break, but the initial explosion will not damage Isaac, therefore granting Isaac quasi-unlimited bombs.
 * : The hovering tear will still deal damage and the statue form won't break as long as the attack buttons aren't being pressed.
 * The Ludovico Technique + : Can pull enemies in while remaining a statue, clearing out rooms easily.
 * : The knife can damage enemies while Isaac is a statue.
 * The aura makes quick work of chasing enemies.
 * : Isaac's body will attack enemies while his head is invincible.
 * : Isaac can safely regenerate Red Hearts in any room, making it easy to have enough health from any mistake at the cost of time.
 * the aura can trigger from nearby enemies while Isaac is safely a statue, and the damaging beams when this happens can reach farther enemies. This powerful attack can make quick work of bosses that chase Isaac.
 * : Can be placed upon entering a room, and will continue to fire when Isaac is invincible, meaning any room can be cleared without the risk of Isaac taking damage. This theoretically allows end-game bosses to be beaten without having to move.
 * Super Magnet: Pulls enemies into Isaac, can be extremely powerful if combined with orbitals that allow contact damage.
 * If Isaac is in statue form when the sword falls, he will not die.
 * Tainted Cain can craft Gnawed Leaf and damaging familiars and Clicker to enable almost any character to take advantage of these synergies without having to rely on randomly finding the items.
 * Tainted Magdalene's "Hug" attack still triggers when in the statue state without taking damage, making short work of aggressive enemies as well as providing lots of healing.
 * : The Soul is invincible as long as the bone club is not used and The Forgotten is not thrown, even if The Soul is holding The Forgotten and moving around.

Interactions

 * / / : Statue invulnerability will not prevent damage from these items when activated.
 * / / : Statue form can activate while invulnerable.
 * / : Wisps are invincible while invulnerable.
 * : If Esau picks up the item, he can remain invulnerable even when Jacob is moving but not when firing.

Trivia

 * This item is a reference to the Super Leaf from Super Mario Bros. 3, which grants the player the Tanooki suit. The Tanooki Suit also has a tanooki tail and the ability to turn into a statue.
 * When paired with, the statue gains a golden tint.
 * There's a small chance when becoming invincible for the player to look like the unused character Edith from Antibirth.
