Sand Gourd

Gaara carries around a giant calabash-shaped gourd filled with his chakra-infused sand, so he can freely manipulate it. The gourd itself is also made from sand with designs all over it, and can be broken down and used to perform techniques as well. Kiba Inuzuka noted that the sand from the gourd has a strong stench of blood, due to the number of people Gaara has killed with it.
