When it does, place a Mannikin solo in play within 3 inches of this model. A Mannikin solo must forfiet its Combat Action the turn it is put into play. No errata for Natural Summons (Create)
Prowl	While this model has concealment, it gains Stealth.   Errata-Prowl (2024-2-17) Question: Does Prowl prevent a model from losing stealth while it has concealment? Example 1: A Warpwolf Stalker with Prowl has concealment and is shot by a weapon with Flare. Thus the model gets -2DEF and loses Stealth. However, as soon as the model loses stealth, it gains it back by having Prowl and being in Concealment. Example 2: A Soul Stalker is targetted by Spyglass and thus loses Stealth for a round. However, when it was shot by an AoE also hitting a cultist, the cultis dies and Agathon now casts Occultation on the soul snake, does it gain Stealth again despite having lost it? Answer: For now stealth will not be reapplied in the above example. Explanation: So we will be using the ruling from MKIII until we have time to go through the different abilities. For now we are looking into the issue brought up by this thread for now. Mainly due to the volume of rules we need to address this first prior to moving on the the other issues, similar to this. Also it is due to the fact we have a previous edition ruling that we are applying to this scenario. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck Infernal - PP Community forum

Lore

The Circle methodically inscribes certain stones to imbue mystical energy into their very essence. These self-sustaining fulcrums of power mimic thought, reaction, and awareness. Territorial and aggressive sentries, these stones animate creatures of sticks and vines cobbled together in imitation of humanity. Such mannikins collapse when beyond the influence of their stone but show an almost sentient pleasure in rending flesh.
