A towering construct of burnished metal in the shape of a man with numerous blades sprouting from its back
Demonic Automata are created by a mad wizard in an attempt to create artificial life separate from the gods. A demonic automaton is an entity of nightmares, a towering construct made of burnished metal in the shape of a man. It will repulse any who behold it to such an extent that they must make a save vs. Magic Wands or start madly babbling until calmed by a casting of **remove fear.** Once this save has been passed they are immune to this effect.
A demonic automaton has numerous blades sprouting from its back on long spindle-like arms. These blades are used to slice at anything that gets near it. A demonic automaton hates all life and will fight until destroyed.
