One of the eight enormous statues called the Walking Statues of Waterdeep, scattered throughout Waterdeep to defend the city in times of great peril. This is perhaps the most famous walking statue in the city, thanks to its dramatic pose : a well-muscled but impassive male human with a sphere of stone floating above its right hand raised skyward. The God Catcher is also a tenement building in the Castle Ward of Waterdeep. The building was originally one of the colossal Walking Statues of Waterdeep but in 1385 DR the Spellplague animated all the guardians of the city and they walked around Waterdeep wreaking havoc. The Blackstaff at the time, Tsarra Chaadren, turned the ground to mud underneath the statue and it sank partway into the ground. Over time, the statue was hollowed out and partitioned into living quarters. The leg that sank into the ground penetrated a sewer line so a stairway was hollowed out inside of it allowing access to the sewer system of the city.
