floaty stone sphere
floaty stone sphere

This is like a regular rock, except for the fact that it's a perfect sphere (like Charlie Brown's head) and it's floating several inches off of the ground (like Charlie Brown's head in this weird dream I had last night.) It's uncanny -- even though it doesn't have any eyes, you get the feeling that it's watching you. Observing you. Beholding you.

Notes

  • August 2009's item of the month from Mr. Store.
  • Becomes a He-Boulder.
  • Its Mr. Store description was:
    Acts as a Leprechaun and a Ghuol Whelp, also shoots beams from its eyes in combat.
  • When placed in An Altar's round depression thusly, you will get hit with a dart, losing 3 adventures and being poisoned.

References

  • "Beholding you" is a reference to the Dungeons and Dragons monster called the Beholder, which resembles a hovering sphere with eye stalks (and the image of the He-Boulder).
  • The bit about watching you without eyes is a common theme in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series where normally inanimate objects, such as the luggage in "The Color of Magic" and a wizard's staff in "Sourcery", will often stare at a character in an unsettling way.
