[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9316865, member: 7030563"] RAW it is a creature it is not an object at all. Petrified is a condition that applies to a creature and does not even apply to an object. This is clear from the description of the condition (note underlined): [HEADING=1][I]Petrified[/I][/HEADING] [LIST] [*][I]A petrified[B][U] creature[/U][/B] is transformed, along with any nonmagical object it is wearing or carrying, into a solid inanimate substance (usually stone). Its weight increases by a factor of ten, and it ceases aging.[/I] [*][I][U][B]The[/B][/U][B][U][B][U] c[/U][/B]reature[/U][/B] is incapacitated (see the condition), can’t move or speak, and is unaware of its surroundings.[/I] [*][I] Attack rolls against[U][B] the [U]c[/U]reature[/B][/U] have advantage.[/I] [*][I][B][U]The creature[/U][/B] automatically fails Strength and Dexterity saving throws.[/I] [*][I][B][U]The creature[/U][/B] has resistance to all damage.[/I] [*][I][U][B]The [/B][/U][B][U][B][U]c[/U][/B]reature[/U][/B] is immune to poison and disease, although a poison or disease already in its system is suspended, not neutralized.[/I] [/LIST] There is no such thing in the rules as a petrified object (note a "[I]petrified eye of a Newt"[/I] is actually a dried mustard seed and is not "petrified" at all). Polymorph does not say it ends a condition on the targeted creature other than poison, so the new beast is still petrified. Also if it is an object, then Greater Restoration would not work to cure him either, because like Polymorph, that spell also targets a creature. [/QUOTE]
