 +Created by an [[classe:artificier]] or a [[magicien]], a **Homoncule** is a construct designed to aide its creator. Homunculi are telepathically linked to their creator, knowing what their creator knows, and follow the telepathic instructions they are given. Their creator can perceive everything a Homoncule sees and hears, out to a distance of 1,500 feet.
 +
 +Homunculi vary greatly in form and function. The creator needs a workshop to create one, the raw materials, and the skill necessary to create one. Designs for homunculi may come from anywhere from [[Maison Bombardier]] to [[Xen'drik]].
 +
 +Skilled Artificiers can improve upon the design of a Homoncule, and may do things like add wings onto an iron defender.
 +
 +======Designs======
 +While new designs for homunculi are always being created, some standard designs include:

 +
 +===Arbalester===
 +Designed to support rangeld attacks, the **arbalester** is a Homoncule that resembles a mounted crossbow, but with a face on the front. This Homoncule is, in fact, designed around the stock of a crossbow, but like other homunculi, is semi-sentient. The arbalester is designed with a built-in quiver that can stock 20 bolts, and the arbalester can arm itself quite quickly with arms that are attached to the stock. Arbalesters are traditionally built with green wood, with inlays of silver and gold. They can also be enchanted, much like a masterwork crossbow can.

 +===Dedicated Wright===
 +The **dedicated wright** is a Humainoïde Homoncule molded from clay. It is rough-shaped, and squat, like a [[Nain]]. The dedicated wright is designed for the explicit purpose to aide its creator in the creation of other items. The dedicated wright is not designed for combat, and will hide itself should it be exposed to combat. Instead, the dedicated wright is designed to stay at home and craft magical weapons, armor, and equipment.

 +===Expeditious Messenger===
 +The **expeditious messenger** resembles a cross between a winged lemur and a diminutive dragon. This Homoncule is one of the few that can pass as an organic creature, though it is crafted from clay, hair, scales, and feathers. The expeditious messenger is only 9 inches from its nose to its barbed tail. This Homoncule is designed for one purpose: to quickly ferry messages to and from its creator. It is designed to move fast, and will avoid combat at all costs to continue to ferry its message.

 +===Furtive Filcher===
 +The **furtive filcher** is a tiny, Ombrey, vaguely Humainoïde form. Fore resembling a wisp of Ombre than a Homoncule, the furtive filcher is only 18 inches tall. This Homoncule is quick, and is designed for the express purpose of stealing objects on behalf of its owner. The furtive fincher is created from clay and ash.

 +{{creature_-_homunculi_03b_iron_defender_01b.png}}
 +
 +===Iron Defender===
 +The **iron defender** is one of the more popular designs for homunculi. This iron-plated dog serves as a faithful guard, protecting its creator much like a true canine would. The iron defender stands at two-feet tall, and instead of teeth, the iron defender has serrated razor-sharp blades in its mouth. The iron defender also has spikes running along its spine.
 +
 +The iron defender is a favorite of both [[Maison Bombardier]] and [[Maison Kundarak]], which keep iron defenders in some of their enclaves, including the Maison Kundarak enclave in [[cap-tempete]] and the hidden Maison Bombardier [[Forge of L'Étincelle Sacrée]].

 +}}===Packmate===
 +The **packmate** resembles a chest with arms and legs. In fact, that is exactly what the packmate is: a set of drawers that can walk and move along with its creator. The packmate is designed around a wood and metal chest, with four legs beneath it, capable of carrying it along. Two pincer-like arms extend from the chest, allowing the packmate to withdraw items from one of the various compartments. Each of these compartments are magically locked.

 +}}===Persistent Harrier===
 +The **persistent harrier** is a Humainoïde Homoncule; a two-feet-tall silver biped covered in spikes. Designed to be a melee fighter, the persistent harrier wades into combat, scurrying between the legs of opponents, distracting them from its creator's attacks. The persistent harrier is designed to avoid attacks, tumbling between foes.

 +======Appendix======
 +HOMUNCULI
 +A homunculus i s a construct servant created fo r certain
 +tasks. Artificers and wizards are responsible for most of
 +the homunculi in existence.
 +Each kind of homunculus has a body constructed from
 +different kinds of materials, including clay, iron, and
 +bits of hair and feathers. The process that creates a homunculus
 +sees those materials mixed with the creator's
 +blood and animated through an extended magical ritual.
 +Constructed Nature. A homunculus doesn't require
 +air, food, drink, or sleep.
 +EXPEDITIOUS MES SENGER
 +An expeditious messenger is a speedy flier, designed to
 +quickly carry messages for its creator. Their speedy and
 +efficient attitude makes expeditious messengers quite
 +chatty, and they natter on as fast as they move.
 +These messengers come in a variety of forms,
 +often looking like mechanical birds or sprites.
 +I RON D EFENDER
 +A n iron defender fights fo r its creator. They come in
 +many shapes and are often crafted in the form of animals.
 +More creative artificers craft iron defenders in the
 +shape of hybrid animals or other fantastical creatures.
