Antimagic Susceptibility.

The furnace is incapacitated while in the area of an antimagic field. If targeted by dispel magic, the furnace must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against the caster’s spell save DC or fall unconscious for 1 minute.
False Appearance.

While the furnace remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal furnace.

Actions

Pop it in the Oven. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage plus 5 (2d4) fire damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or be swallowed by the furnace. A swallowed creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the furnace, and it takes 14 (4d6) fire damage at the start of each of the furnace’s turns. If the furnace takes 15 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the furnace must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or release all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 5 feet of the furnace. If the furnace is reduced to 0 hit points, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the inanimate furnace by using 5 feet of movement, exiting prone. The furnace can hold 1 Large creature, or four Medium creatures. It can hold many Small and Tiny creatures, at the DM’s discretion.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (3d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage plus 5 (2d4) fire damage.
Fire Breath (Recharge 5–6).

The furnace exhales a 40-foot cone of fire. Each creature in that area must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Animated Objects

Through the use of powerful magic, otherwise mundane objects, such as a broomstick, kettle, rug, or even a weapon or suit of armor, can be turned into a kind of primitive creature. An animated object is able to move, perceive, and even attack.
