Homunculus (item)

Homunculus is a consumable item.
==History==
A , Latin for "little man," is the concept of a miniature, fully formed human being in alchemy. Creating one was the goal of Islamic alchemists and creating one has also been attempted in occultism.
==Effect==
Homunculus can be used on a specific party member to protect them of an instant-death attack once. The item can only be used in battle on allies that have not fainted.
In Persona 3 and Persona 5, a Homunculus will save from instant death, including Ghastly Wail, but will not cover for the aftereffects of weaknesses: the target will still be Downed, and the attacker will still be rewarded with One More.
In Persona 5, a Homunculus in the inventory automatically sacrifice itself to protect a party member when they would be killed from an instant-death attack. Because Homunculus directly removes the user's KO status, status ailments will not remain after Homunculus has been activated as they are overwritten by KO, although other conditions like stat changes or Charge are preserved.
If the user has the Confidant ability Endure, skills Endure, Survival Trick, Enduring Soul and/or the trait "Circle of Sadness", Homunculus will not trigger until those effects have all been used up.
If Door of Hades is about kill a party member through both conventional damage and its insta-kill ability, Homunculus will only safeguard them from the latter, unlike Enduring abilities such as Survival Trick.
