Animated Jug

This odd jug has feet. Upon closer inspection, the oddities continue to mount. Its clay exterior is built around a crystalline bottle with sections revealing the sub-surface for a user to see its contents. The small clay feet are clad with crude iron toes and heels to lower its center of balance. In its center, a small polished gem sits embedded within the clear surface. All of these oddities seem out of place. That is, until it starts to move.

• This jug is an inanimate object until the user brings it to life with a command word and a press of its center as a bonus action. It will remain animated until the user issues the command word or it is reduced to 0 HP, becoming inert.
• While active, this creature is friendly towards the user and their companions. It understands the user’s languages and will obey their spoken commands. If they issue no commands, the creature will take the Dodge action, and take no additional actions besides following the user.
• If reduced to 0 HP, it freezes in its place. At the GM’s discretion, it may fall over and spill its contents.
