Dungeons & Dragons/Monsters/Caryatid column

Caryatid column Construct Fiend Folio 1981 In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the caryatid column is a type of construct. The creature's name comes from a type of statue called a caryatid. Description A caryatid column is very similar to a golem. As with golems, the caryatid column is an artificial construct animated by magic. A caryatid column appears as a column with fine carving suggesting the shape of a woman holding a sword. When activated, (typically by an event trigger), they transform into "young maidens" and do battle, returning to their original position and state once the threat has been dispatched.
