Mnemophage Spider

The Mnemophage Spider, identified as C3S81/H53IF/J85L0 by Marshall, Carter & Dark, Ltd., is a small obsidian statue of a spider, with small rubies for eyes. Should a user hold the statue in front of a subject and have them look into its eyes, the user can erase the subject's memory of concepts, objects, or individuals. Memories erased in this way are replaced by memories of spider swarms, while new memories are associated with spiders.
At some point, Mr. Night acquired the Mnemophage Spider, but considered it more useful for intimidation rather than a practical way to erase memories. It was sold to MC&D in 1933 as part of Lot C3S81 for $50,000 ($1,209,769 in 2024). The Spider had a high demand and was considered unique, eventually being sold to a buyer for $17,500 ($409,775 in 2024).'Night's Collection' (Lot C3S81)
