The Bombinomicon 1 - 100 Explode spectacularly on death. 'If ye gaze upon one tome-themed badge this year, MAKE IT NOT THIS ONE!' - Merasmus the Magician ( Achievement Item: Not Tradable )

The Bombinomicon is a badge item wearable by all classes. It is a leatherbound and twisted looking book with a glowing red eyes and a circular red mark on its "forehead". A large, bloodstained circle of jagged teeth in the center of the cover clutches a cartoonish bomb. A player that dies wearing this badge will be gibbed in a spectacular purple explosion, whether the killing blow was dealt by an explosive or otherwise.

This badge is awarded to players who have earned the Dive Into a Good Book achievement by traveling to Loot Island through portal that appears after the Monoculus is defeated and collecting the Bombinomicon held within a cage there. The Bombinomicon can be awarded to multiple players who complete the listed specifications.
