Monster Description

The FD-F42 is a medium-sized construct, created by an ancient civilization that has long since vanished. Designed for labor and maintenance of machinery, these automatons often patrol deserted factories and mechanical workshops, guarding their secrets. Their metal bodies are armored and reinforced with thick plating, making them resilient in combat.

Monster behavior

FD-F42 constructs exhibit a programmed functionality to protect their designated areas. They have a rudimentary intelligence that makes them more reactive rather than strategic, choosing to engage in combat when their territory is breached. In battle, they rely on overwhelming brute force, using their powerful hydraulic fists, and occasionally stunning opponents with a pulse of energy generated from their core.

Ecology

As a product of civilization, FD-F42 constructs thrive in areas that were once bustling with life and technology. They consume no resources, surviving on the ambient energy from their environment. In their ruins, they keep machines running, albeit in a limited capacity, serving as automated guardians until they are destroyed or deactivated.

History

FD-F42 units were created during a time when magic and technology were intertwined. These constructs were utilized in various industrial roles and were considered a marvel of construction and automation. Following the collapse of their civilization, they remained in place, their directives unfulfilled, often waiting for their master’s return that would never come. Over millennia, they have deteriorated but still wield a semblance of their once formidable power.
