Creatures of Tyrra

- Constructs are either built or summoned by powerful formal magics. They are neither alive nor dead and are thus immune to healing and necromancy spells. Most are mindless and invulnerable to the effects of Charm and Paralyze spells, and none have a metabolism; spells of Death and Sleep have no effect. As many have their weapons constructed as parts of their bodies, they are immune to Disarm spells. Most constructs take damage from Shatter, Destroy, and Dispel Magic.

Type of Construct	Description	Intelligence:
Gargoyle	Gargoyles are lesser stone golems, usually shaped as lizardmen-like creatures with large wings. They are summoned to guard a certain area and will attack anyone not recognized as "friend." Their stone-like skin makes them resistant to blows from a dagger.
Golem, Bone	These powerful constructs are built of bone in the form of a large humanoid. They are created to fulfill a specific mission, and their mindless dedication to this task is so strong they will likely ignore you and not attack unless you hinder them. Their strength is incredible and they are able to take a great deal of damage with magical weapons.
Golem, Crystal	Often called "Reflectors", because they reflect many of the spells thrown at them, these creatures appear to be purely animated crystal that has taken a vaguely humanoid shape. Their bodies are extremely fragile and are fairly easily destroyed by weapon strikes or explosive traps.
Golem, Iron	These golems are animated iron statues with bodies more powerful than a saurian. They possess the strength to break free of Pin, Bind, and Web spells.
Golem, Stone	Stone golems are much the same as iron, though their bodies are only slightly less powerful and they are not vulnerable to electrical attacks.
Golem, Straw	The constructs are silly-looking creatures built of rags and straw. Flame-based attacks appear to work best on them.
Mechanical Rat	These strange constructs were once more populous than they are now. They are as strong as most wild rats and secrete oil that causes the same effect of infecting their victims with disease. Mechanical rats are twice as strong as their living cousins, however and much harder to kill. The mechanical rats Drax used to keep in Tyrangel were equipped with some sort of internal reconstruction device. They would rise again once felled unless a Destroy spell was cast on them, or a person skilled in trap dismantlement worked on them for a moment or so. They are exceptionally vulnerable to Shatter and Destroy spells.
