Automaton
These small metallic beasts seem not to need food or suchlike to live, very similar to undead. However, they cannot be such, since their resistance to fire, cold and arcane attacks is surprisingly high. Heavily armored, wielding a perilous steel mace and a rectangular shield, these ‘automatons’ are the new grunt attack and defense force of the evil forces that have taken over the known world. They somehow move rather quickly for their weight, a mystery that no one has been able yet to decipher. Their only drawback is their apparent lack of practice at moving in rough terrains such as hills and mountains.
Special Notes: This unit can move unseen in deep water, requiring no air from the surface. Some of this unit’s attacks are not available except on defense.
