Characteristics

Living statues are statues of muscular bearded men that have been brought to life through magic. They have solid yellow eyes and wear a toga or chiton-like garment over their left shoulders, their left fists raised into the air. Despite being endowed with life, living statues rarely move and actually appear to struggle when they do so, their movements often jerky, sudden, and barely different from their idle pose. This apparent difficulty is even reflected in their speech as they tend to get caught up momentarily mid-sentence, often at an awkward point in the middle of a word.

Difficulty in movement does not hamper a living statue's strength. They are often capable of landing desperate attacks on opponents, can crush foes underneath their stony feet, or even unleash powerful tremors that strike groups of adventurers.
