Description
<Sized based information>, this creature moves quickly but with striking deliberation. Every motion has a direct purpose, and while at rest it stands unnaturally still. Its reddish-grey skin appears to be made of some porous stone, but the color shifts subtly, as though some manner of vermillion liquid roils just below the surface. Expressionless as this creature is, violence is clear in its every action.
Recall
While the most frightening tales of necromantic creations address those under the direct control of their creator, there are also creatures of mindless animation. These constructs are not so much undead, as the inanimate made to dance. This specimen appears to be made of blood and sand, but you recall learning that not all necromancy involving blood is truly considered Blood Magic. Blood contributes a spark of life, but this may still be "simple" animation.
Special Attack
An immense dirt construct jerks its head abruptly and looks directly at <target>. It plunges a grasping hand into its own chest, pulling forth a clotted mass of dripping soil. Spinning, it hucks the glob directly at <target>!
<target> watches in horrified silence as the vermillion gloop sails toward it. The mass slams directly into the side of <target>'s head, spattering everywhere, and the <target> bends over gagging in revulsion.
Notes
Created by Quicken the Earth. Not really an invasion critter but best way to tag it so it doesn't show up in "normal" hunting ladders. Construct's stats based on TM and Thanatology skill of caster. Can roughly be assessed by the size of the construct, but "immense" covers an extremely broad skill range.
