Toy is a creature type introduced in Duskmourn: House of Horror. It is notably not an artifact type.
Description
On Duskmourn, quickened toys are previously inanimate objects that have gained sentience and an appetite for death thanks to Valgavoth's warping influence.[1]
Quickened toys prefer to avoid confrontation directly.[1] They most often come across their targets when they're picked up by someone who assumes they're harmless. They'll let themselves be carried around, waiting for the perfect moment when everyone in the group has dropped their guards before striking. Once that group is eliminated, they'll fall into a dormant state again to await the next unsuspecting survivor to pick them up.
The only way to defeat a quickened toy is to destroy it entirely.[1] Because they lack any sort of physiological structure, normal methods of incapacitation aren't enough to stop one. If any parts are still intact, even just a single limb, those parts will continue to move and hunt.
