Wow, Innistrad seems to just have an uncanny knack for putting similar creatures next to each other in alphabetical order. I thought about not doing either of these, but the chance for some more interesting variations of wolves and boars was just too enticing to pass up. Plus, the Festerhide Boar let me work out how the Morbid mechanic is going to work.

Magic Item: Figurine of Wondrous Power: Ivory Boar

After being inspired by @5ecardaday’s Web conversion as a perfect gift from Old Lady Sybil, the so-called Witch of the the Underpine, I decided it would be cool if everyone got something a little special from her that shows she’s been paying attention and are personal to each of the Jaunters.

Hjördís salvaged some tusks from the party’s encounter, or rather slaughtering, of a stench of Festerhide Boars in the first session, and was rather rudely snubbed by a jeweler who thought the idea of buying them off her was laughable, so I came up with this:

Figurine of Wondrous Power: Ivory Boar (Wondrous, Uncommon)

A figurine of wondrous power is a statuette of a beast small enough to fit in a pocket. If you use an action to speak the command word and throw the figurine to a point on the ground within 60 feet of you, the figurine becomes a living creature. If the space where the creature would appear is occupied by other creatures or objects, or if there isn’t enough space for the creature, the figurine doesn’t become a creature.

The creature is friendly to you and your companions. It understands your languages and obeys your spoken commands. If you issue no commands, the creature defends itself but takes no other actions.

The creature exists for a duration specific to each figurine. At the end of the duration, the creature reverts to its figurine form. It reverts to a figurine early if it drops to 0 hit points or if you use an action to speak the command word again while touching it. When the creature becomes a figurine again, its property can’t be used again until a certain amount of time has passed, as specified in the figurine’s description.

The Ivory a oar is a Scrimshawed Boar Tusk 4" long that can become a Boar for 8 hours and then can’t be again used for 7 days.

I wanted it to be magical and fun, but not too overpowered and crazy at such low levels.

Cannot wait to hand this out next session! The party is getting surprisingly huge with our Druid of the Equinox (from the incredible Ravenloft Archetypes on DMs Guild) having the ability to haw a more substantial Wolf Familiar named Athal and having taken the Animal Companion Feat and getting an Elk called Haussos.

Good hunting and happy gaming :)
