Skin of the Beast (Enchanted Cloak or Fur):

Magical Cloak, Rug, Fur, or even Stuffed Animal that animate as an animal on the owners command. The item is made using the fur and skin of the animal it becomes when activated. Most common animated furs include Wolves, Bears, and Giant Cats such as Lions and Tigers although other animals are possible as well. The magic item is similar to Guardian Stones and only a small number of alchemists know how to create them and they are very expensive.

The fur can be activated on command or can be told to activated upon a certain event. In the later case, the item makes an excellent guardian. The skin, when activated, becomes the same size as the real animal and has all the abilities of the animal that it is made from except it has maximum S.D.C. and Hit Points. Unless the creature is completely destroyed, all S.D.C. and Hit Points are restored the next time the item is activated unless completely destroyed.
