Once animated, all materials become flexible to some extent, though fluid motion is uncommon. Animated items move like puppets, with jerky, clumsy motions. If the item was rigid initially, it makes loud creaking, groaning, or grating sounds as it moves. An animated item moves up to 60 feet a round (movement rate 6). It can be used to attack, acting like a club with a THAC0 of 20 and a damage score of 1d6 points.
