Spiral Centurion

These mechanical constructs were created to serve as guardians in an ancient and bygone era, although exactly who made them and the secrets of their construction have long since been lost to history. From the waist up, they resemble humanoids made of metal, but from the waist down, their bodies take the form of spinning metal tops ringed with blades that excel at cutting down nearby foes. Most spiral centurions can be directed to stand down with a password, but often these command phrases have been lost to the mists of time. In rare cases, a spiral centurion can also wield manufactured weapons or a shield in addition to its built-in weapons, giving it access to additional actions besides those listed below.

Most spiral centurions are hundreds or even thousands of years old, only staying functional because of the powerful magic used in their creation. Still, millennia of neglect have caused many spiral centurions to develop small glitches or malfunctions.
