Statue
A statue is a sculpture made from a lasting material, representing one or more people or animals, normally full-length, and at least close to life-size, or larger. Most statues are constructed to commemorate a historical event, or the life of an influential person, or as the centerpiece of a shrine of worship. Statues are often considered public art and are often found exhibited outdoors or in other public locations.
Most statues found throughout Tyria are Static Interactive Objects and the players can have but limited interaction with them. There are a few notable exceptions to this:
Destructible Statues
These statues play a key role in certain Renown Heart or Event. The player is required to attack and therefore destroy these statues. In some cases destroying the statue will be all that is required to complete the mission, at other times their destruction will add a percentage to the missions completion. Some examples are:
Hero Challenge Statues
These statues are the focus of a hero challenge. The player will need to commune with this statue to complete the hero challenge and gain the reward. These statues are often guarded by group or veteran foes. Some examples are:
Corrupted statues

Mystic Forge Statues
These statues are used by players in the Mystic Forge and are required in the forging of certain legendary weapons. Some examples are:
