Death-in-the-Box
Death-in-the-box was once a jack-in-the-box, a perfectly harmless, if perhaps somewhat stradling toy, crafted by the master toymaker Guiseppe. Maligno effected its corruption. It is now a minor artifact of evil, a tiny dread construct armed with razor sharp claws, potent necromantic powers, and discretion over the time and place of their use. The thing is fond neither of daytime nor crowds. It is invulernable to mundane violence. Mundane fire and potent magic harms it slightly, but the last traces of the damage are gone within minutes. It can be destoyed only by flames of a funeral pyre, the light of a sunray spell, or, curiously enough, the effect of an energy drain spell.
