At first, what seems a simple oven for Firing and glazing pots suddenly stands up on two stumpy legs. The two-humped masonry monster rotates slowly to gaze at you with its gaping hellish maw. As you look at it, your first thought is, "God, I'm glad I'm not a clay pot."

This golem is a freakish creation of brick, fire, salt, and gnomish potter's magic. It was built to assist the production of Anagama pottery, but some roguish creators *glares at Alsih2o* have turned it to other uses, like guard duty, disposing of scrap lumber, and destroying incriminating photos of him and Piratecat... err, I mean, other uses.

It is approximately 9 feet tall, two humped chambers composing the bulk of its body, no arms, a small door to serve as its "mouth", and weighs around 2,000 pounds.

Fire Breathing: The Anagama, when sorely pressed, can once per round breathe a gout of flame in a 15-foot long cone, doing 3d6 damage. If it does this more than 3 rounds, it needs to consume approximately one pallet of scrap lumber before reigniting its fire.

Transmute Mud to Rock (Su): While its fire is still lit, an Anagama can use this ability as a standard action once every round. The effect has a range of touch and an instantaneous duration. There is no save. This cannot be used if it has extinguished its fiery breath.

Construction: The Anagama is created from brick construction, scrap lumber, 50 pounds of salt, and ample water, blood, sweat, and tears - especially sweat. The brick must be of exceptional quality, and cost 500 gp. Assembling the body requires a DC 17 Craft (Pottery) check or a DC 17 Craft (Stonemasonry) check.
Cost: 900 gp + 200 XP.

EDIT: Oops! Slam attack bonus is 3 points off!

For a moment, I thought about going and analyzing if the stats were done correctly for this monster.

 

[Piratecat]

"Oh my God, that monster done kiln Henry!"

 

[Ferret]

What about a Swallow whole ability?

"Tucked away inside the middle section of the double-humped masonry monster are twenty four handmade pots"

So thats 24 diminuitive/tiny creatures.....

"Oh my God, that monster done kiln Henry!"

Just be glad I didn't give it a Glaze attack.

I had oven considered adding on a few puns, but then you might have fired me as moderator.

 

[Piratecat]

Henry, dear Sir, am I called upon to throw you into a wall for such awful puns? Probably, but I don't vase my actions on just one horrible thread. You'll have to do worse than that.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

I'm curious how long you two can go with these puns before running out.

 

[Piratecat]

Puns? What puns? I just wish Henry would quit clayming to be so funny.
