 Also of note is the {{frac|10}} chance that a blessed figurine will generate a peaceful monster: this at least means you can attempt to use {{spell of|charm monster}} or a [[scroll of taming]] on it whenever either option becomes available, though monsters like Archons or ki-rins are very likely to resist multiple attempts due to their [[Magic resistance (monster)|high monster MR]].
-Non-blessed figurines can be used to generate a peaceful or hostile creature in the path of more dangerous foes; while tame monsters can be used for similar purposes, they may attempt to attack if they are at a high enough level and risk being killed. They also have a more mundane use as a means of generating corpses for sacrifice. As magical tools, unwanted figurines also make ideal [[polypile]] fodder.
