This curious little magical construct is a relic from ages past, which lurks still in an ancient tomb. It is usually dormant, but awakens if disturbed. It is about six inches high and made of a dense green-black stone, with fine runic engravings covering its surface.
A relic protector guards any children (or Small-sized humanoids, as it lacks the intelligence to tell the difference) fiercely, and will defend them from any who threaten them, waddling along beside them or waiting in a pack otherwise. Its styling is alien to most modern folk, but it appears quite adorable otherwise. Hooks:
