Jaw Bone is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth † (Booster Pack #5).

Effects

• Spawns a familiar that fires across the room in the direction of the first tear fired and returns to Isaac when it hits a wall, similar to Little Chubby. Deals a flat 7 damage to enemies that come in contact with it.
  • When thrown, the familiar will pierce through enemies if they are killed by the familiar, but the familiar will bounce back to Isaac if the enemy is not killed.
  • The familiar can pass through obstacles.
  • The familiar can retrieve pickups like The Boomerang.
  • Blocks enemy tears when stationary and when thrown.
  • After returning to Isaac, it has a short recharge time before it can be fired again.

Notes

• Just like The Boomerang, Jaw Bone can grab pickups through obstacles and will not grab Troll Bombs.

Synergies

• BFFS!: Familiar grows in size and does a flat 14 damage to enemies.
• Duct Tape: Jaw Bone will face in the same direction as Isaac and remain stationary as opposed to trailing behind him. Jaw Bone can still be fired.

Trivia

• This item is possibly a reference to Judges 15:16 where Samson kills a thousand men with a donkey's jaw bone.
• Jaw Bone is possibly a reference to the movie, The Frighteners, where Judge chases a ghost hound who keeps stealing his jaw bone.
