Tomb Guard
Inspired by the Deep Carbon Observatory canoptic guard.
Stone statues animated by canopic jars. Tomb guards are mindless. Indistinguishable from a statue until the tomb they are guarding is desecrated. Some times seen with a mummy. A construct.
Imagine a tall sandstone statue. Impassible, immobile, proud. It clutches an oversized halberd. Inlaid in its head and chest are 5 ceramic jars painted with hieroglyphs.

| Move: slow | Size: large |
It is immune to anything that would’t damage a rock, but is weaker where its 5 canopic jars are. Hitting a jar is a hard roll and destroys it. When there are no jars left, the tomb guard is deactivated.
- Face Jar. Holds a pickled heart. Spreads ancient blood around when broken.
