Yes. Freaked me out too. O.o
Takes me back to Diablo II's jungle level. Those nasty little freaks that kept badgering you.

I cant help but notice that the little green doll with the spear looks like that little african doll from that movie Trilogy of Terror(80s)
That thing scared the crap out of me.Anyone else know what I'm talking about?
The resemblance is intentional. Everyone here at Paizo pretty much lives in fear of the Zuni Fetish Doll.
As far as the other pictured doll goes, am I the only one here thinking of Rozen Maiden? ^.^

As the writer of that particular monster and the impetus behind its creation and the inclusion of the dolls in Guide to Korvosa and a well-documented fan of anime, I must say:
Yes. You're totally the only one thinking that.
;D
I also immediately noticed the resemblence to the Trilogy of Terror fetish doll. (That thing terrified me as a kid in the late 70s!)
I'm finally DM'ing this adventure, and when the party discovered the Zuni fetish doll (in the toy maker's safe deposit box from part A of Seven Days) I was shocked to discover that none of my players recognized it. My players are just a few years younger than me; I guess it made a difference.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank the Paizo staff for including a shoutout to us gamers in our late 30s. *I* got the reference!
Of course, now they've taken the doll home with them, and they have no idea what they are in for...heh heh heh.
LOVE that evil little doll :)
First time I saw the film, and not the whole thing, was at a Girl Scout Beach Trip ... we'd rented a house for the weekend. A friend was also reading The Shining at the time ... she totally cleared the room and the king bed we were sharing as I said "Ayeyeyeye!" behind her as she reached for the light switch <eg>
I remember that movie as well - even acquired it on DvD fairly recently after seeing it in the Bestiary.
I've tormented player characters with various incarnations of it over the years since the late 80's. ^_^

LOL! I had to go and recheck the adventure for this, before realizing you'd added it ... now, do I do the same and make my players jumpier than before <eg>

I am so adding it as I need to keep my title of Dark Apprentice of Logue.

I've used this as well. For some reason, animated dolls are especially creepy (well, with the exception of that doofus, Chucky) and I've used them with great effect.
Oh, and for the record, that Trilogy of Terror story was originally written by Richard Matheson, author of I Am Legend.
