List of constructs
Template:Version031 Constructs are monsters which, although technically nonliving, are animated through magical means. Like all nonliving monsters, they are immune to poison, asphyxiation, and negative energy. Golems tend to have many elemental resistances, though many are vulnerable to Lee's Rapid Deconstruction and Shatter.
Although similar in some ways to statues, constructs are set apart by their ability to move.
Golems
Golems are big, hulking, mindless constructs that are generally rather slow but pack quite a punch. Some of the more powerful ones have high AC, and they all come with complete immunity to anything subject to willpower and varying levels of resistance to elemental magic.
- Template:Monsterlink- A construct summoned into existence. It damages itself each time it attacks, and once killed, it will soon explode. If not adjacent to the player, it will power down and do nothing.
- Template:Monsterlink- Servants built to assist mummies in their afterlives. They guard their masters' Tomb by spewing clouds of miasma.
- Template:Monsterlink- Small, zippy golems made from the only material available in the Desolation of Salt. They're fragile, but there's a lot of them...
- Template:Monsterlink- Swift, manticore-like enforcers that roam the Desolation of Salt and support their allies in hunting down intruders.
- Template:Monsterlink- Bizarre creations that are rarely seen, even for golems. They're fairly easy to take down.
- Template:LightMagenta File:Spellforged servitor (monster).png Spellforged servitor - Experienced mages may summon a construct that can cast their most destructive spell.
- Template:Monsterlink- Made of solid iron, these golems are slow, but very strong and extremely durable.
- Template:Monsterlink- Crystalline sentinels who pelt intruders with ricocheting bolts of fire and cold.
- Template:Monsterlink- The most powerful golem, these roam the Realm of Zot and annihilate the unprepared with bolts of lightning and electrical attacks. They are also much faster than other golems, immune to Lee's Rapid Deconstruction, and blink constantly.
Variant Golems
Template:Red File:Flesh golem.png Flesh golem - An earlier work of the master flesh-mage Cigotuvi that diligently guards his laboratory. Though made of flesh, it is as powerful as an iron golem.
Gargoyles
Template:Flavour Gargoyles are similar to golems in construction, but possess an actual intelligence. This allows them to wield weapons and behave less mechanically, but also renders them susceptible to Hexes. Not only are they capable with Maces & Flails, but they can also hurl portions of themselves at opponents.
- Template:LightGrey File:Gargoyle (monster).png Gargoyle - Predatory statuary that swoop through the Dungeon in search of victims to pelt with Stone Arrows.
- Template:Monsterlink- A hateful grotesque composed entirely of molten stone, giving its attacks a fiery nature.
- Template:Monsterlink- Swift-flying metal warriors which swarm their foes and rain down deadly shrapnel.
Other Constructs
- Template:Monsterlink- Conjured attack drones that fire unblockable barrages of energy to supplement their creator's Conjurations.
- Template:Monsterlink- Weapons enchanted to attack under their own power. Larger ones hit harder, but move more slowly.
Retired Constructs
- Template:Monsterlink- The weakest variety of golem. Unlike its stronger brethren, it burned easily.
- Template:Monsterlink- A basic golem. Big, but slow and easy to smash.
- Template:Monsterlink- A significant step up from the clay golem in power and durability.
- Template:Monsterlink- A durable golem made of solid crystal. Variants that can fire bolts of cold and fire appeared in certain vaults.
- Template:Monsterlink- A slower, sturdier gargoyle, most often found roosting in the hellish fortress of Dispater.
- Template:Monsterlink- A summoned golem that protects its allies, and explodes when killed.
