Carvings of decapitated mind flayers adorn this greataxe's metal blade. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this greataxe.
An Aberration hit with this greataxe takes an extra 1d12 slashing damage. If the Aberration is currently grappling a creature, the Aberration must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or release each creature it is grappling.
Creatures that are Small or Tiny have disadvantage on attack rolls with heavy weapons. A heavy weapon's size and bulk make it too large for a Small or Tiny creature to use effectively.
This weapon requires two hands to use. This property is relevant only when you attack with the weapon, not when you simply hold it.
