A living statue is a magical construct that resembles a statue of a humanoid. Unlike golems, they are intelligent and capable of following reasonably complex orders. Left to themselves, they pretend to be inanimate statues until they have the opportunity to ambush intruders.
Silver living statues are composed of a thick silver skin.

Construction
A silver living statue is sculpted from silver and a smaller quantity of mercury, requiring two months of work and a successful Craft (sculpting) check at DC 14. The statue costs 3,000 gp to create, including 500 gp for the silver and mercury (which must be free from impurities). The final ritual must be performed by a spellcaster of at least 9th level (arcane or divine) with the Craft Wondrous Item feat. Completing the ritual drains 60 XP from the creator and requires suggestion, fabricate, and dominate person (arcane spellcaster), or command, animate objects, prayer, bless, and raise dead (divine spellcaster).
