Making a Waxwork Construct

[Cevah]

There is a Waxwork Creature template hat describes how to make these constructs. Some additional details are in the Sentient Waxwork and Waxwork Candle subpages.

What intrigues me is the ability of the creation of Waxen Regeneration:

Waxen Regeneration (Su) wrote:

This ability functions like regeneration, except the waxwork creature has it without a Constitution score. A waxwork creature reduced to 0 hit points is staggered instead of destroyed while its waxen regeneration is active; it ignores all damage dealt to it that would reduce its hit points below 0. Fire damage causes the waxwork creature’s regeneration to stop functioning on the round following the attack.

What I see is a construct that even when fully damaged, it can still act, and it can regenerate. Yea, fire stops it, but still, unkillable. This is a major plus for a construct.

Now comes the question: What critter should I make as a waxwork?

I expect a beatstick would be useful, but what else might be used? Are there any utility critters suitable for making?

i was thinking the usual dire tiger, but I suppose pounce and rake are ‘special attacks’ and not ‘extraordinary qualities that improve its melee or ranged attacks’.

Unfortunately I think the munchkin answer ‘green man’ is strong here.

Edit: yes, these look really strong.

How about a dragon? They get plenty of natural attacks, decent ability scores, and flying at 200'+ is occasionally useful. Plus, style.

I've been thinking of a waxwork oread student of stone. Just spitballin' here.
