Physical descriptor

Automatons are men of metal, each built for a specific task on the Moon of Marvels floating above Ootopyllidro. Their shapes are as varied as their purpose. Some are crude boxes with spindly limbs and strange eyes, others appear as large humanoid pieces of clockwork. No matter the shape all automatons are built around a Clockwork Core, much like another species heart, this clockwork core is where their true mind lies. It is a center of consciousness and creative magic that allows automatons to form sentience. Not all automatons are sentient, but on occasion one of the creations of the gnomish peoples will come to an awakening. When these awakenings happen it can be jarring for the automaton, and they often go through a process known as "reconstitution" In which they will reform themselves into a newer and upgraded form. Automatons found to be modifying themselves in these ways are cherished and called the efficient ones. They are seen as essential for automaton life to continue its existence, as these machines are the only ones capable of creating entirely new automatons.
