Summoning figure · Introduced in Book 3
Grulke Infantry Figure
The Grulke Infantry figure is a summoning toy from Bautista’s sponsor, Jaxbrin Amusements. Removing its tag calls up a temporary soldier.[1]
Choose Book 3 or later above to read this section.
Temporary summon
The soldier appears after about ten seconds. Common figures of this type last roughly thirty seconds, then return to the owner’s inventory on cooldown. Other figures in the sponsor’s range can summon creatures with different allegiances, so they are not all safe to activate.[1]
