The cheap plastic imitation of the Amulet of Yendor (CPIoAoY) is an amulet that exists solely to confuse you. It appears as an "Amulet of Yendor" when unidentified, and every plastic imitation besides the one on the Rogue level must be individually identified to distinguish it from the real Amulet of Yendor.
It has a 50% chance of being generated on the Rogue level[1] (this one will be pre-identified as a fake) and a 50% chance of being in the inventory of a double-troubled Wizard of Yendor when you don't have the amulet (0% when you do).[2] Player monsters on the Astral plane all carry one,[3] which is presumably why they're stuck there.
Wishing for the Amulet of Yendor gives you a plastic imitation instead (unless you are in wizard mode). If the real Amulet is left in a bones file, it gets converted to a fake amulet when the file is loaded.[4]
It has no effect when worn. It can be considered one of the most useless items, next to iron chains. However, it can be polymorphed into a more useful amulet.
If not identified, the cheap plastic imitation can be distinguished from the real Amulet of Yendor by trying to put it into a container: the real amulet will resist.
