  We study the effect of primordial nongaussianity on large-scale structure,
focusing upon the most massive virialized objects. Using analytic arguments and
N-body simulations, we calculate the mass function and clustering of dark
matter halos across a range of redshifts and levels of nongaussianity. We
propose a simple fitting function for the mass function valid across the entire
range of our simulations. We find pronounced effects of nongaussianity on the
clustering of dark matter halos, leading to strongly scale-dependent bias. This
suggests that the large-scale clustering of rare objects may provide a
sensitive probe of primordial nongaussianity. We very roughly estimate that
upcoming surveys can constrain nongaussianity at the level |fNL| <~ 10,
competitive with forecasted constraints from the microwave background.
