Living dolls were toys that had been magically animated, typically by malevolent Spirits that lack an appropriate Undead form. Though they varied in size and appearance, they shared similar characteristics to many Constructs and Animated Objects, but particularly had a soul that defined its actions.
Living dolls were indistinguishable from other toys until they activated, typically when another creature moved into a set space, They were infused with psychic abilities that could create magical fear in sentient creatures. Many were imbued with regenerative or self-fixing magic, making them surprisingly fearsome in combat, with power that could be enhanced if their bodies were changed to be more fearsome.
