This spell turns a statuette of a foo lion (a celestial dire lion) into a full-sized lion, ready to fight your foes. The statuette becomes a Huge animated object (Huge construct, 90 hp, AC 13, hardness 6, speed 30 ft., attack slam +9, damage 2d6+7) that attacks a specified target on your turn as directed by you. You can change the designated target as a move action (as if directing an active spell). The statuette can be reused if the terra cotta lion remains intact at the end of the spell, but if the lion is reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, it crumbles to powder and the statuette is lost.
See Animated Object for full information on animated objects, but the terra cotta lion has none of the given special attack forms.
Focus: A terra cotta statue of a foo lion, up to 1 foot tall and costing 10 gp.
