I can't recall the exact appearance, but Twist sounds pretty close - it
was definitely a humanoid.

He's also pretty much right with what happened to the statue, although
he left a few details out. The elf sam (Bloodwing or Blackwing - he's
called Bloodwing through most of Bottled Demon, but he's also known as
Blackwing sometimes and in his return appearance in Dragon Hunt he's
called Blackwing) takes it to his masters in Tir Tairngire - AFTER the
runners have gotten a great feathered serpent to destroy its power.

Also, there was NO bonding cost. On the other hand, as whoever asked
the question in the first place suggested, it did do funky things to
the user's mind.

*Doc' wonders if he could make an evil magical focus which filled the
mind of the wielder with visions of an ugly dancing baby (the
Eeurrgha-Chuckup Baby)...*
