Item: Fossil Fragment (Eurypterid Paddle)
A fossil fragment is a piece of a fossil creature, typically a smaller bone from a larger specimen.
Activate—Fossil Metamorphosis 2 (concentrate, manipulate)
Effect You activate the fragment by placing it on solid ground and then speaking its name, causing the fragment to form the full fossilized skeleton of a creature. In creature form, the fragment has the minion trait. Because it's an animated fossil instead of a living creature, it has the construct and earth traits and lacks its normal creature type trait (typically animal). It's also immune to bleed, death effects, disease, doomed, drained, Fatigued, healing, nonlethal attacks, Paralyzed, poison, sickened, vitality, void, and Unconscious. It can understand your language, and it obeys you to the best of its ability when you use an action to command it. The specifics of each creature, as well as the activation's frequency, if any, appear in its entry below.
The tip of an oar-like limb specialized for swimming becomes a Spiny Eurypterid when activated. It can be called upon once a week for up to 24 hours. The eurypterid can serve as a mount for a creature one size smaller than it or smaller, and when it does, it confers the ability to breathe both air and water upon its rider.
Trait Effects
Earth: Effects with the earth trait either manipulate or conjure earth. Those that manipulate earth have no effect in an area without earth. Creatures with this trait consist primarily of earth or have a connection to magical earth. These planes are mostly solid. Travelers arriving upon an earth plane risk suffocation if they don’t reach a cavern or some other air pocket within the plane’s solid matter. Creatures who can’t burrow are entombed in the plane’s substance and must attempt to dig their way toward an air pocket. Air creatures are ill at ease, as they rarely have the space to move freely through even the loftiest warrens.
Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
