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 magical 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 or Solar in the hopes of gaining a powerful pet; as noted above, this may backfire and leave the player in a nasty situation should the angel turn out to be hostile! It can be a good idea to stand two squares from the stairs when applying it so you can #jump to escape a bad outcome.
If a figurine is applied to a square with a monster on it, the figurine will be lost and nothing will be spawned.
A figurine counts as a magical object, and is ideal for polypiling.
