“ | Oh, the MAGICIAN said not to. Wow, I'm sorry, that changes everything. I didn't realize some old idiot in a dress told you not to read something.

The Bombinomicon is a badge item wearable by all classes. It is a leatherbound and twisted-looking book with glowing red eyes and a team-colored Demoman class icon 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 the portal that appears after 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.
