Cruel orb is an item.
When kicked, it can produce a small amount of blood money, or a very large explosion.
It can only be found when the player has the Curse of Greed active, in which case it takes the place of any Shiny Orbs that would otherwise generate in unvisited areas.
Behavior[]
The orb outcome is like casting a 21-sided die, with 1 side yielding an explosion, 1 side yielding 1,000 
(bloody), 1 side yielding 400 , 8 sides yielding 50 , and 10 sides yielding 40 . The first kick is fixed, and will always yield 40 . The second kick has odds as described in the table below. Starting on the third kick[1], each time the orb is kicked, the outcome of the highest number is changed to an explosion (so rolling a 21, 20 or 19 on the 4th kick will yield an explosion).
| Number Rolled | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 | Large explosion that destroys the Orb and deals nuke damage. |
| 2-9 | 50 gold in a medium bloody nugget
|
| 10-14, 16-19, 21 | 40 in four small bloody nuggets
|
| 15 | 400 gold in two large bloody nuggets
|
| 20 | 1,000 gold in one huge bloody nugget
