Introduction[]
Rumpelstiltskin was a fairy tale about an elf who would spin straw into gold in exchange for a first-born child. However, he could only be stopped if one guessed his name. When the heroine of the story found out his name, Rumpelstiltskin got so angry that he stomped on the floor until it cracked and he fell through it.
Effects[]
This statue is sensitive to its name being called, and if someone guesses its name right, it will stomp its feet up and down to create minor quakes that can easily knock over shelves or make the ground crack. As a result, it is confined inside of a box, and its name must not be mentioned in its presence.
Trivia[]
- This artifact first appeared in the Warehouse 13 episode "13.1".
- It was heard growling in its case, implying that the statue was partially sentient.
