Statues can be found throughout nearly the entire game. Often generated randomly, they may also have been monsters (or previous adventurers) who found themselves on the wrong side of a 'trice or of a cockatrice egg; they may also be monsters posing as statues, which will spring to life when you approach.

They can be broken in several ways, including the spell 'force bolt', wands of striking, and pick-axes. From level 4 and below, statues may contain spellbooks, unless the monster which the statue is of is considered 'verysmall'. Statues formed by stoning a monster, or of a player who died of stoning, will contain that creature's inventory, and may be shattered to obtain. Beware using force bolt or striking, as this may also shatter potions.
