Lore Guardian

Although technological constructs are especially popular in the modern era, many ancient cultures created magical automatons in their own images. Known as lore guardians, these sentries are fairly common in abandoned ruins from bygone eras, where they tirelessly chase off would-be looters. Unlike Golems, lore guardians have only limited magical resistances, and they are animated strictly by magic, not by bound spirits or outsiders.
Lore guardians are echoes of their parent cultures, and they are often psychically imbued with those societies’ basic traditions. They infrequently move about their assigned areas, mindlessly aping their creators’ behaviors and rituals. Even after millennia, lore guardians recognize their creators’ species, and a creature of such a species can often approach the constructs peacefully.
