Creature 3 — angel, celestial, holy
ShadeMenderLANDAERIALcelestialangelholy
Kuribus serve as the guardians of temples and other holy sites. They are humanoid in appearance and roughly the size of human children. Their bodies look like stone, which allows kuribus to disguise themselves as statues for extended periods of time (sometimes up to centuries). When defending their sites, kuribus harry invaders from a distance.

The kuribu can't use Blessed Aspect again for 1d4 rounds. They can revert back to their humanoid appearance at any time, but they still have to wait before using Blessed Aspect again.
