Wondrous Horse Figurines

Wondrous Horse Figurines
Wondrous items, legendary

The wondrous horse figurines are nearly mythical magical items in the form of precious stones carved into the shape of horses. Each stone houses the spirit of a mount that served as a companion to great heroes of bygone eras. As such, legend prevails that great sages, perhaps even gods, granted these creatures immorality by imbuing gems with their personality and a portion of the powers possessed by them and their riders in life.

Unlike other figurines of this nature, because of the horses personalities are so strong, it is said they are extremely particular about who may summon them. This assumption is only strengthened by the knowledge that such extraordinary gifts were left by a somewhat avaricious gnome.

Individual Horses
Little was known about the figurines until they resurfaced (edit: add info about one-armed gnome collecting them, perhaps a vague years, Milo's mom's party name). What is known, and has been gathered, is that five have been recovered and each with a different alignment and creature type go by the following names: Based on the pattern of alignments and creature types, some have postulated a sixth chaotic evil horse exists, perhaps an aberration or monstrosity, though few have searched too hard to find it.
 * Integra - Celestial, Lawful Good
 * Phillip - Fey, Chaotic Good
 * Gideon- Beast, Lawful Neutral
 * Windfola - Fiend, Chaotic Neutral
 * Nuruhuine- Undead, Lawful Evil

Mechanics
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. 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.

While in its figurine form, the stone is vulnerable and can be destroyed. A figurine destroyed this way can be brought back only by means of a Wish spell.
