Pointy Rib is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth † (Booster Pack #5 ) .
Effects
Spawns a bone familiar that can be aimed with the fire buttons in all directions and does contact damage.
The familiar will continuously hover back and forth in the direction that it is pointing in.
The damage is equal to Isaac's tear damage and is dealt 6 times per second.
The damage increases when Isaac is moving on the direction the familiar is pointing in based on Isaac's current speed, up to twice of its base damage.
The familiar will damage Poops and Fire Places .
Synergies
Proptosis : Triples the contact damage. Has no penalty with range.
Interactions
BFFS! : Doubles the base contact damage, but not the bonus damage granted from Isaac's movement.
Trivia
The item is possibly a reference to the Genesis story where God created Eve by removing a rib from Adam.
