DND Series : Effigy (Monster)

An Effigy in Dungeons & Dragons is a construct, often created to serve as a guardian or enforcer for powerful spellcasters. These animated figures can vary greatly in appearance, typically resembling statues or figures made from materials such as stone, wood, or metal. Standing anywhere from 6 to 10 feet tall, Effigies are imbued with a semblance of life through arcane rituals, granting them immense strength and resilience. They are often shaped to look like fearsome creatures or imposing humanoid warriors, designed to instill fear and awe in those who encounter them. Though lacking independent thought, Effigies are programmed with a set of instructions and can perform complex tasks, defending their masters or assigned locations with unwavering loyalty and relentless force.
