Traits

Crate Form

The crate cannot make basic attacks or manipulate objects. All melee attacks against the crate are made with combat advantage.

Hide in Plain Sight

When the crate is first encountered, a creature must succeed on a DC 21 Perception check to discern it is a creature rather than an object.

Standard Actions

Conjure SkeletonAt-Will

Effect: The crate disgorges a skeleton, which appears in the nearest unoccupied square and acts immediately after the crate in the initiative order. Such a skeleton cannot move more than 10 squares from the crate and disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or at the end of the encounter.

Special: The crate can have up to three skeletons disgorged at a time. Such skeletons are worth no XP.

Move Actions

Crate HopAt-Will

Effect: The crate shifts 1 square and takes 1d6 damage.
