'''Q:'''<ref name=q1>https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/78292-summoned-stone-obstaclefigure/?p=754826</ref>  The rulebook states:  "They [familiars] may be targeted and affected by monster attacks, hero abilities, and Overlord cards that target a hero."<br>
{{QA
So I think every agrees that a reanimate could obviously be affected by a whole slew of cards/abilities such as Stoneskin, Pit Trap, Dark Charm, Critical Blow, etc. etc….<br>

|answer_1 = Since a Summoned Stone is treated as an obstacle and not a hero or monster figure, no abilities applying to heroes or monsters may be used. Thus, it wouldn't be affected by Shadow. However, any ability that allows you to attack through a Summoned Stone, if it's adjacent to a Shadow Dragon, is subject to the Shadow ability (since the hero is the one performing the attack).<br>The Reanimate is treated as a hero figure, so it would be subject to Shadow.
But the Stone card says it's a familiar treated as an obstacle…<br>

|question_2 = During a Cooperate Adventure ([[Forgotten Souls]], [[Nature's_Ire]] and [[Dark Elements]]):<br>Can monsters attack the Geomancer’s Summoned Stones since they’re not familiars?
The Reanimate is treated as a hero figure, so it would be subject to Shadow.<br>
|answer_2 = When determining the target of an Activation card, Summoned Stones are considered to be heroes.
