'''Statues''' can be found all throughout the [[Dungeon]]. Most of them are harmless, but some contain dangerous traps or actively try to kill you. While each kind of statue behaves in a unique way, they are most easily divided into inanimate statues (which are treated like [[dungeon features]]) and animated statue monsters (which aggressively attack you and can be killed in turn). Whether animate or not, all statues are completely immobile, and if a statue is capable of attacking you, the game will auto-exclude all tiles in their [[LOS]] to keep you you from accidentally wandering into danger.

Revision as of 22:46, 6 March 2014

Version 0.13: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Statues can be found all throughout the Dungeon. Most of them are harmless, but some contain dangerous traps or actively try to kill you. While each kind of statue behaves in a unique way, they are most easily divided into inanimate statues (which are treated like dungeon features) and animated statue monsters (which aggressively attack you and can be destroyed). Whether animate or not, all statues are completely immobile, and if a statue is capable of attacking you, the game will auto-exclude all tiles in their LOS to keep you you from accidentally wandering into danger.

All statues behave much like transparent walls, being a barrier to fire but not visibility; unlike transparent walls, they are not a barrier to reaching or smite-targeted attacks. They are not affected by Dig or a wand of digging, but may be susceptible to disintegration. Hostile statues do not regenerate HP, so even if you are forced to retreat, you may come back and try to destroy it after you've healed.

Inanimate Statues

Inanimate statues, while unaffected by physical attack, are susceptible to disintegration, Orb of Destruction, Lee's Rapid Deconstruction, and Shatter.

  • Granite statues come in a variety of shapes, often resembling dangerous monsters, but pose no risk; at worst they may prevent you from reaching a shop or pile of treasure.
  • Scorch marked granite statues are just like granite statues, except that they are found in areas where flame clouds sporadically appear. They do not actually cause these clouds, so while you can destroy them, doing so accomplishes nothing toward making the area safer.

A nameless grave. The question remains: is it the grave that is nameless, or the person who lies in that grave?
