The Hoof of Gluttony is a +5 over-sized great club. The entire weapon is made of fire scorched bone - having once been the right rear leg of an overly obese and ill-fated Jara, the Fat One.

The Fat One was a centaur abomination that loved to eat. Normal for the Jara people, they feed on the dead, including their own that fall in battle. The Fat One would not think twice before ending the miserable life of a severely wounded jara, and then feast on the still warm body. In the Siege of Amanwen, the elves recorded that he was three times the weight of the largest jara, a fat monstrosity that moved at a crawl compared to the fast hooves of his brethren. When the jara retired from the smoking ruins of Amanwen, the Fat One remained behind, gorging himself on the dead for a week. When an Angrod war party came to survey the ruins, they found him and emptied their quivers. They claim they put more than four hundred arrows into him before he breathed his last.

Decades later, the fire-scorched leg of the Fat One was found. Hauled out of the ruin by a team of goblins, it was taken into the peaks of Thranerch and studied. Five years later, a goblin shaman named Yagruk took the Fat One's leg to the Jofgried Titan Forge where it was turned into a weapon of great power.

Sold for a million in jewels, a harem and one succubus, the Hoof of Gluttony ended up in the hands of an Ogre Lord named Agdúm. In the third month of 1303, Agdúm began to change from his gluttonous ways; more concerned with the next meal than his duties as leader of the Thousand Clubs. Becoming dreadfully slow in battle, caught eating his brethren when there was plenty, Agdúm's lieutenants had had enough, one struck him, the others followed suit.

In 1531, an Ogre Lord named Morbakh went looking for the Hoof of Gluttony. In the Barrow of Agdúm, Morbakh and a band of seasoned adventurers were all but wiped out by traps, undead, and monster guardians.

Pulled from the bony embrace of Agdúm, the femur of the Fat One, the Hoof of Gluttony was the last thing he stole as a mortal. Pursued, haunted, and worn down, Morbakh fell to the ghost harem of Agdúm. Subjected to fell energies and dark curses, Morbakh became a famine spirit bolstered by Rioch Tetrax, a Taln'nazân Famine Spirit-King.
