Living Statue enemy line

Living Statue and Hydros Statue are species of monsters found in Golden Sun. These monsters, resembling large animated dragon statues, are palette swaps of each other and have differing levels of power and defense. Living Statue serves as a sub boss monster while the Hydros Statue serves as a full-fledged boss monster. Both are associated with the Mercury element.

Living Statue
The Living Statues can be found in the Altin Mines. They are flooding the town of Altin by spewing out continuous water. According to Altin's villagers, they are their guardian statues brought to life.

As a sub boss for Altin Peak, Living Statue has better statuses than the random enemies encountered in the same area; 540 HP, 34PP, 149 Attack, 44 Defense, 56 Agility, and 20 Luck. Its resistances are highly lopsided; it is very resistant to Mercury attacks and highly susceptible to Mars attacks.

It can use the monster skill Water Blessing and cast the Psynergy Tundra, both for Mercury damage to multiple targets. Destroying a Living Statue yields 377 EXP, 900 coins and a Vial.

Hydros Statue
The Hydros Statue is the final boss in the Altin Mines dungeon. After defeating several Living Statues and lowering the water level of the flooded town of Altin sufficiently, Isaac and his party encounter the Hydros Statue.

In battle, the Hydros Statue has 1300 HP, 80PP, 156 Attack, 53 Defense, 62 Agility, and 30 Luck. Its resistances are highly lopsided; it is very resistant to Mercury attacks and highly susceptible to Mars attacks.

The Hydros Statue has the same abilities as the Living Statues, but also gains the Psynergies Ice Horn, Drench, and Froth Sphere, all for Mercury damage to multiple targets, and Restore, to rid itself of most status conditions.

Destroying the Hydros Statue yields 496 EXP, 2400 coins and a Lucky Medal. Upon defeating it, the Isaac and crew also gain access to the Lift Gem.
