Notes

• In their tablet form, they appear to be immobile and will activate Reform Carvings immediately after being aggroed; this causes them to revert to the tablet form before assuming a new form.
  • Their most common form is as a Mesmer; they also use this whenever they are alone when attacked.
    • Their Mesmer form resembles a naga.
  • They turn into Dervishes when they are low on health.
    • Their Dervish form resembles drakes.
  • They turn into Paragons when they are within earshot of their allies.
    • Their Paragon form resembles krakens.

Bug.Graven Monoliths sometimes get stuck in tablet form and stop performing any actions.

Trivia

• Their dying animation will be one of the forms they had before first using Reform Carvings.
• On occasion you may see a graven monolith wielding an Aureate Aegis.
• The Graven Monolith is one of very few types of NPCs that can use skills from three different professions.
