Oracle Text

When this creature dies, distribute three -1/-1 counters among one, two, or three target creatures. For each -1/-1 counter you put on a creature this way, remove a -1/-1 counter from that creature at the beginning of the next end step.

Chainer's madness personified, it exists only to slaughter the innocent.
