Buy me a coffeeWickerman
This humanoid-shaped colossus is a towering fury of burning wicker and wood.
A wickerman is a towering wicker statue with a cage in its chest. Inanimate ones are used for sacrifices to gods or nature faiths, and the constructs to terrify a faith’s enemies.

| SPECIAL ABILITIES |
| Burning Brand (Ex) Once per round, a wickerman can draw forth pieces of its own body and throw them as a ranged attack with a range increment of 60 feet. Constant Blaze (Su) A wickerman constantly burns but is never consumed. Its flames are magical. Immersion in water only suppresses the flames, and only for Fire Healing (Ex) A magical attack that deals fire damage heals the wickerman 1 point of damage for every 3 points of damage the attack would otherwise deal. Wicker Cage (Su) If a wickerman successfully grapples a creature, as a move action it can shove the grabbed creature into the cage built into its chest. This works like swallow whole (4d6 fire damage plus the target automatically catches on fire [Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook 444], AC 17, 15 hp). The DC to put out this fire is 17. If a creature cuts its way free, the wickerman can’t use this ability again until it is fully healed. The save DC is Constitution-based. |
