Leg

Legs are meat items and body limbs that can chopped off dead cannibals or obtained from cannibal effigies in The Forest.

Gameplay
Legs can be chopped from cannibals corpses using an axe or any cutting melee weapon. They can also be found in certain cannibal effigies. It can be used to build effigies, be used as a weak melee weapon and even cooked and eaten by the player.

As a weapon, the Leg only consumes a small amount of energy, which is regained between two swings, allowing the player to fight almost indefinitely. However, the Leg is very weak and a huge amount of hits are necessary to kill enemies, making the Leg a very last resort melee weapon, though it can still be used to block.

The Leg can be cooked on a fire and eaten by the player, as well as placed on a drying rack for later consumption. Leaving it to burn on a fire yields a single bone. As with any edible cannibal body limb, it will lower the player's sanity upon consumption, as well as raising weight like a snack would.

The player can only carry 2 Legs in his inventory.

Storage
Leg can be stored and dried on the drying rack:

Trivia

 * Body limbs are perishable, and will spoil if kept in the player's inventory for too long.
 * Eating cooked body limbs is the fastest way to decrease sanity.
 * Eating dried body limbs will fill your fullness bar just like regular dried meat would dependent on which state the body limb is in.
 * Eating dried body limb does not decrease sanity
