{{Disambig}}
The '''Living Statue''' (originally '''Stone Hulk''', '''StoneMan / Stone Man''' in the GBC translations) is a recurring enemy in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', it is a stone statue reminiscent of a marble sculpture that was brought to life.
'''Living statue''' may refer to one of the following {{MFamilies}}s in the {{DQSeries}}:
 
*{{Living statue}}: The hulking marble menace of a man seen in several games having debuted in {{DQ3}}.
==Characteristics==
*[[Living statue (Dragon Quest V)]]: The mini boss from {{V}} in [[Uptaten Towers]] with the appearance of a stone doll.
A Living Statue is a large, dynamically posed sculpture that can easily be passed off as a mere statue if not for its glowing eyes. Despite being endowed with life, Living Statues rarely move and actually appear to struggle when they do so, their movements often jerky, sudden, and barely different from their idle pose. This apparent difficulty is even reflected in their speech as they tend to get caught up momentarily mid-sentence, often at an awkward point in the middle of a word.
*[[Sculpture vulture]]: A purple demonic statue that appears in {{VII}}, {{IX}}, and {{Dragon Quest X}}. In Japanese, it is known as a Living statue (リビングスタチュー, ''Ribingu sutachiyū'')
 
Difficulty in movement does not hamper a Living Statue's strength, however: their heavy bodies enable them to attack hard and stand up to a fair amount of punishment before they crumble.
