Figurines are similar to statues in that casting stone to flesh at them re-animates them. However, this is where the similarities end. Figurines are generally lighter than statues, can not be created by petrifying a creature, and can not be destroyed with a pick-axe or wand of striking. They are classified as tools because they can be (a)pplied to an adjacent square to re-animate. The resulting creature is most likely to be tame if the figurine was blessed, peaceful if it was uncursed, and hostile if it was cursed; however, even a blessed figurine may create a hostile monster, or a cursed figurine a tame monster. The odds are as follows:

tame peaceful hostile
blessed 80% 10% 10%
uncursed 10% 80% 10%
cursed 10% 10% 80%

Some players wish for a blessed figurine of an Archon in the hopes of gaining a powerful pet; as noted above, this may backfire and leave the player in a nasty situation should the Archon turn out to be hostile!
