Stubby warts dot the skin of this horse-sized brown toad. Its throat bulges and ripples as though about to croak. Custom Moves: When you engulfed by the Toad, roll+DEX. On a 10+, you avoid the toad’s jaws. On a 7-9, you evade getting eaten and simply take damage. On a miss, you take no damage but the toad demon swallows you whole. When you're inside take -1 forward from the demon's digestive juices and don't get too comfortable. The Toad Demon will digest anything but stone and metal. When you try to escape the Giant Toad, roll+CON. On a miss, the demon deals damage to you and some of your non-stone and non-metal stuff gets ruined. On a 10+, pick two.

Formed from accumulations of runoff from arcane laboratories and regions of magical calamity, alchemical oozes are a sort of weak cousin to the true doppelganger. Briefly able to assume a human shape and mimic the voice of previous victims the ooze will seek to lure a meal to a dark, secluded spot and dine on the poor fool. Children or lost maidens are a favorite lure. Alchemical Oozes gain the voices of previous victims but are cunning as opposed to intelligent. Instinct: Dissolve flesh!

Living Statues are constructs like Golems, but usually more fragile and achievable at lower cost - represented by the generally weaker combat statistics and fewer magical immunities. The arcane short cut to creating a Living Statue is imbuing the creation with a greater degree of will. Independent thought makes Living Statues less reliable as guards and servants -they're capable of interpreting commands loosely or abandoning their posts in the interests of self preservation. Living Statues are unaffected by Sleep, but they are affected by mind control - Charm and Hold spells work against them - more evidence that a guiding consciousness is present within the construct, differentiating them from their more powerful Golem cousins. Living statues can be constructed from various materials but crystal and stone statues are the most common. Instinct: Obey Creator
