Animated Statue
Animated statues look very much like large 8-to12-feet tall statues that you can find in temples, gardens, crypts, and palace halls.
Faux Golems
Often mistaken for golems, animated statues are less potent but inexpensive substitutes, often crafted to serve as intimidating deterrents to burglars and intruders. Sometimes, the wealthy families hire unscrupulous wizards and artificers to create golems for them to serve as guardians, and they unknowingly end up paying for animated statues, unable to tell the difference.Magic Mouths
Just like animated armors, animated statues are frequently enchanted with scripted speech, so the armor can issue warnings, demand passwords, or deliver riddles, even announcing that they are golems to discourage intruders.
