PosChengBand - Statues

[Red Sky Grishka]

In the black market especially, i often see statues. (not magical figurines) of monsters, sometimes uniques. Are they useless or do they 'come to life' if i use a wand of stone to mud? Also, sometimes i see 'you've stumbled upon something interesting...' What does that mean?

Statues, the 50-pound things are just bulky loot.
Figurines, iirc, can be used to call the mob, but I cannot remember if/what skill/class is needed. I usually just ignore both.

Unless PosCheng has deviated this feature much from Heng (which most of my knowledge is based on ), statues are there to either ignore or collect (if that's your thing -- I sometimes found it fun trying to hunt for unique statues, for example). Figurines can be thrown to summon the depicted monster as a pet, but standard pet mechanics apply, which would mean that based on your race/class combo you might not be able to maintain control of the summoned creature.
