Barryat the Vicious

A small wooden figurine crudely carved into the likeness of a badger. The tale behind this item tells of a ranger who made an enemy of a mighty wizard.  To punish her, he cursed her treasured companion, Barryat, into the form of a useless trinket.  In the face of battle, Barryat will overcome his wooden prison and join the fray

EFFECT

If you, or any friendly creatures within 10 feet of you, roll a natural 20 on an initiative roll the totem transforms into a ferocious giant badger (Use the statistic in Monster Manual). Barryat takes his turn on your initiative count and acts as your ally, defending you and your allies until death.   After 1 minute, or if Barryat is reduced to 0 hit points, he reverts back to a wooden figurine.
