The Animated spade is a monster that can be found just outside Tarn's Lair. As their name suggests, they are spades that appear to move on their own. The spades are apparently controlled by the spirits trapped in the Abandoned Mine. Often, unprepared players who have little or no knowledge of the lair may try to pick it up just to mistakenly attack it and get attacked back. The spades stand tall and upright, slightly off the ground.
