The stone soldier is a humanoid construct worked from rock. There are multiple variants. Alabaster is the softest, followed by limestone, then marble, granite, and the hardest: basalt. The marble variant is the most common, and comes in many colors. The stats above are for the MARBLE variant. They only animate in the presence of an intruder a few paces away. When one animates, every other stone soldier in the room does so as well, allowing them to fight as a group. They are powered by a soul stone embedded in their body, often the head, which contains the soul of an ancestor. These stones are incredibly valuable gems and about the size of an egg, adorned by ornate carvings. They wield lances, axes, hammers, and swords, though all deal the same damage. Their movements are slow and measured, their joints shifting slowly. It avoids damaging valuables when possible. Instinct: TO PROTECT THE BLOODLINE
