The Bombinomicon is an unlockable cosmetic item for all classes. It is a badge representing the twisted looking, leather-bound, haunted tome with glowing eyes named the Bombinomicon.

Unlike many Halloween items, this cosmetic is not holiday restricted and can be used by players year-round.

During a Full Moon or Halloween, the explosion is colored purple; any other time during the year, the explosion is colored gold.

This item is awarded to players who earn the Dive Into a Good Book achievement by traveling to Loot Island through the portal that appears after MONOCULUS is defeated on Eyeaduct, then collecting the Bombinomicon held within a cage there.
