We study the curvature perturbations and non-Gaussianities generated from the combined effects of inhomogeneous end of inflation and curvaton mechanism. This double role is played by an isocurvature field which is massless during inflation but acquire a mass instantaneously at the end of inflation via the waterfall phase transition. We calculate the resulting primordial non-Gaussianity characterized by the non-linearity parameter, fNL, recovering the usual end-of-inflation result when the field decays promptly and the usual curvaton result if the field decays sufficiently late.
