Sword of Mammal Slaying (Magic Sword)

This sword works as a standard nonmagical weapon when used against non-mammalian life forms. Against mammals, however, the sword gains a +1 bonus. Against mammals of good alignment, the sword gains an additional +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls.
When the mammals are intelligent enough to have an alignment, the bonus rises to a +3 if the creature is of any good alignment. When the sword is around mammals, it vibrates, causing a slight humming noise. When a good-aligned mammal is within 60', the sword hums at a higher pitch, and actually begins pulling out of the scabbard partially. The sword does not mind being used by a mammal, as long as another mammal is being killed by it. If a week goes by with no mammal blood on its blade, the sword will actually incite a berserker rage until the sword is coated with it.
This slightly intelligent sword does not appear to be evil when detect evil is cast upon it. The sword is only anti-good and anti-mammal.
Also, the sword is similar to a sword of sharpness in the fact that it causes the wound to bleed profusely for 1d4 rounds after that. This excessive bleeding causes an additional point of damage for every round. Therefore, the total amount of damage this sword does in combat is 1d8+3+1d4.
This magical sword is very rare. It is a common sight among lizardmen, who use the blades when hunting off the human infestations within their lands. Against lizardmen, however, the sword acts like a cursed sword -3. This cursed effect occurs even if a nonmammalian creature is wielding it.
