Living idol

Living idols were animated, semi-intelligent statues of stone, presumably created to serve as foci of ancient religions in Zakhara.

As of 1367 DR, they were sometimes worshiped by small cults, who empowered the idols with sacrifices appropriate to the type of living idol. The four different types were:
 * Animal (e.g., rat or scorpion)
 * Death
 * Elemental (air, earth, fire or water)
 * Healing

All living idols were considered opposed to Zakhara's predominant culture of Enlightenment.

Combat
Physically powerful, living idols could both take and deal a lot of damage by attacking with a stony appendage. They were immune to mundane and lowly enchanted weapons as well as many spells, while they are especially vulnerable against magic attacking stone. They possessed the ability to charm nearby creatures, and each variety had a different major magical power.
