Possessed Tome

A model I made for the 22nd modeling contest. It's a mimic - a book that 'wakes up' when someone tries to read or grab it, showing a nice set of razor-sharp teeth, as well as being capable of magic using the inscribed runes within it. Can morph between stationary(book) form and flying(combat) form. Use a morphing ability(e.g Druid of the Claw's "Bear Form") to switch between them.

Best used as bait for adventurers inside dungeons.

Notes:
  • The model is fairly small, and should be scaled up to 1.5 or so, according to the needs of the map-maker.
  • Recommended movement type for "combat mode" is "Hover", with 0 height.
  • The model has been changed since it's contest version(and the screenshot), and now features fewer runes inside(because previously, they got screwed up in-game due to WC3's mip-map system) and a "Morph Alternate" animation(for landing back on the ground).

I love this model and it's well animated too :) using this as an untargetable summon who attacks enemies, and if no enemies it follows the mage.
