Interesting Objects to Animate?

Marbles

Here's a creative option: put stainglass windows in the room, which explode, the figures in them becoming animated as flat, walking figures of glass with razor-sharp weapons... If you've seen Young Sherlock Holmes, you'll know what I mean..

Stained Glass Golem ... it's in MM2.

A puddle of -
1. water - can an animated object use suffocate?
2. acid - suffocate+acid
3. slime - suffocate+entangle (and make it slightly acidic too)
4. tar/oil- suffocate+animated candle (wiith flame)

Forget the crane. Actually, don't. Make the crane scary and terrifying. Cover it with spikes, bits of broken glass, and a scary face.

Then animate the table the golem's on. Make it a nice multi-pivot table designed to hold a humanoid form in a variety of positions with resizable clamps. Then let it grapple the PCs and begin folding and pivoting.

Oh, and I'm a fan of a shelf covered in acids, oils, alchemical icky things that starts throwing its contents.

Millstones
The gears inside a huge clock tower
Red hot iron boots (usually used as torture equipment)
A maypole (all the ribbons start strangling the dancers...)

Privy. You haven't lived till an animated toilet tries to eat you ass-first.

Neat idea. I do like the animated, partially complete really huge statue. The arm just attacking is a cool idea. In the same vein as the table idea, how about animating scaffolding? That turns the inanimate statue into a really dangerous falling object, in addition to this almost Kafkaesque collection of boards and lines and things dancing around.
