Marionette Doll

Origin
In early times, marionettes were a great source of entertainment. Puppeteers would use them to tell stories and entertain people.

Usage
A malevolent artifact, the marionette doll is sentient and evil. When it senses a nearby victim, it will attempt to ensnare said victim in its strings. If it keeps hold of him/her long enough, it may become human.

With wicked glee and a twisted sense of humor that would make The Joker proud, it seeks out other humans to turn into marionettes to perform in puppet shows. The clown can be distracted by jokes or riddles, so keep plenty at hand. Due to its volatile nature it is kept within the Dark Vault under its own neutralizer field.

Collection
It is unknown how this artifact came to be, or its origin, but its terrible nature suggests a horrible story. Its collection date places it somewhere in the era of Warehouse 12.
