Murderous Miniature

Wondrous item, uncommon

This painted, 1-inch high statuette is sculpted from lead and is exquisitely detailed, depicting a ferocious warrior dressed in hide armor and wielding a greataxe. Typically, 1d4 miniatures are found together, each one in a different pose.

If you cover this item with an inch of soil, after 1 minute it grows into a berserker, which is friendly to you and your companions. Roll initiative for the creature, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). If the creature has not been ordered into combat within 10 rounds of being summoned, it becomes hostile to you and your companions and attacks the creature nearest to it.

The creature disappears in a puff of oily smoke when it drops to 0 hit points or when 10 minutes have elapsed.
