Noxious Needler

This construct is a walking alchemical nightmare capable of inflicting all manner of painful wounds. The noxious needlers' ability to follow orders is granted by the otherwise mindless humanoid brain that floats in their dome-like heads, allowing them to serve as laborers and guards for their creators.

In exceptionally rare cases, the brain used in their creation might retain fragments of memories or even an actual intellect, resulting in a noxious needler with a personality and agenda of its own. Unwilling creations often hunt down their creators, venting their rage on similar targets if revenge is impossible. Others blankly replicate the experiments from their last memory
