The cheap plastic imitation of the Amulet of Yendor is an amulet that exists solely to confuse you. It has a 50% chance of being generated on the Rogue level [1], 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], and player monsters on the Astral plane all carry one [3] (that's why they're stuck there).
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 told from the real Amulet of Yendor by trying to put it into a container: the real amulet will resist.
