Description
Once mere stone statues, now animated with dark magic, these creatures boast an almost impenetrable exterior and fearsome, sharp claws. Their origins are shrouded in mystery, leaving uncertainty as to whether they were recently created by some malevolent force or relocated from ancient ruins where they may have resided in the past.
It appears these creatures are attracted to cities by the concentrated sources of arcane energy that permeate urban environments, providing the unnatural sustenance required to animate them. To elude detection, they seamlessly blend with architectural elements, often perching atop buildings and statues, masquerading as lifeless stone. Their disguises are so convincing that they can mimic the appearance of original statues with remarkable accuracy. These animated statues remain dormant until provoked or until they spot a potential victim, at which point they strike with deadly precision. The motive behind their attacks remains a mystery, as these creatures neither consume nor have any apparent need for sustenance.
