As long as it has such connecting elements, it can travel to and fro in and upon the earth as it pleases.

Dislikes ----- : N/A.

Disposition - : This creature is constructed by an Animationist. What commands the Animationist has given this creature, it will carry out. There will be a 75% chance of this animation having no master.

These animations will remain motionless and in place at all times until the directive its creator has
given it has been triggered (i.e., treasure has been taken, a certain area has trespassed, it has been physically touched, etc.). It can be multiple commands (commands which are not given will not be executed by this animation).

If the caster of a Stone Cretin dies, it will become "Stilled", thus it will retain the same disposition its master charged it with while he or she was alive. However, if attacked, this disposition will change to defence, and a fight will ensue. The former commands of the Animationist will be strictly up to the Game Master to decide.
