Wondrous Netsuke

Wondrous netsuke were tiny statues of remarkable power created by shugenja, intended to protect their wearer from harm. They had one spell-like 
ability, which it could use at will. Most resembled the clans representative animal: crabs, cranes, dragons, lions, phoenix, scorpions, and unicorns. They were given to the children or wives of a daimyo. If their owner died far from home, such netsuke returned to their family and clan if they could, but sometimes wandered on their own, seeking another honorable samurai. Creatures of Rokugan, p. 78
