This stoic mechanical guardian is engineered for endurance, featuring anatomically sculpted plate armor and a formidable spiked circular shield. Whether serving as a loyal Warforged adventurer or a crafted Artificer companion, its gritty steampunk aesthetic and detailed mechanical joints make it a standout addition to any party.
A mechanical guardian stands at attention, ready to defend its master or a post.
Ideal as a mechanical bodyguard for a wizard, a summoned defender for an Artificer, or a rank-and-file clockwork soldier in a steampunk-themed dungeon.
