Masticator's ear

The Masticator's ear is a miscellaneous item in Fallout 2.

Characteristics
This is the right ear of the Masticator, bitten off in a boxing match in 2241.

It has no actual uses beyond being a trophy of becoming a Prizefighter, but it sells for $750 at Renesco's Pharmacy or New Reno Arms.

Location
When you deliver the knock-out blow to the Masticator during the boxing match in the Jungle Gym, the ear might be added to your inventory.

Similarly, the Masticator can rip your ear off if he hits you while you have 110 HP or less. This must happen in order for the player to be able to bite off the Masticator's ear. (Roughly 160+ unarmed is also necessary).
