Coral Dragon (Magic Figurine)

This is a delicate, multicolor carving of an Oriental dragon, approximately 1 foot long. When its command word is spoken, the dragon animates and grows to about 3' long. Once animated, it remains so for four hours or until “killed,” a dispel magic spell is cast on it, or the command word is spoken again. The dragon may be used once each week for scouting, combat, or conversation.
These figurines are especially rare and usually quite old. They often accumulate much wisdom over the course of their long lives and can act as advisors to the people who activate them. Though specific knowledge is left to the Dungeon Master to decide, coral dragons often know about philosophy, religion, and history; the latter gives them a 25% chance to identify the general purpose and function of any magical item.
The coral dragon has 8 HD, AC 3, and Intelligence and Wisdom of 15. The dragon has MV 12 on the ground, 24 Fl and 36 Sw. Most have a neutral alignment, though some have tendencies toward law, chaos, good, or evil. A coral dragon may attack with two claws and one bite each round, with successful hits causing 1d10 damage per claw and 2d6 damage per bite.
A coral dragon follows the orders of the person who activated it, though those dragons with alignments opposed to that of the activator try to find loopholes in the orders. Once per activation, a coral dragon can cast gust of wind, airy water, and create water.
