Q: When Special Summoning Kurikara, Avatar of the Immovable, can I Tribute a Trap Card that has been Special Summoned as a monster?
A: If that Trap Card activated a monster effect while in your opponent’s Monster Zone this turn, it can be Tributed to Special Summon Kurikara, Avatar of the Immovable. (For example, if it is Statue of Anguish Pattern, it can be Tributed if its effect to destroy a card on the field was activated this turn.)
Even in that case, that card is included towards the effect of Kurikara, Avatar of the Immovable that increases its ATK by 1500 for each Tributed monster.

Q: If Kurikara, Avatar of the Immovable is changed to face-down Defense Position, temporarily banished, or has its effects negated, what happens to the ATK it gains from its effect?
A: In all of those case, the ATK gain is no longer applied, and even if Kurikara, Avatar of the Immovable becomes face-up again or no longer has its effects negated, the ATK gained from its effect is not reapplied.
