Homunculus

Homunculi are tiny constructs created by spellcasters to act as spies and servants. They are created through mysticism and alchemy, using the spellcaster’s own blood in the procedure. This blood-link provides a special bond between the homunculus and its creator. The construct is completely loyal to its master and can telepathically transmit anything it sees or hears back to its creator. Although they possess a telepathic link to their creator, a homunculus cannot verbally speak.

Apperence
The appearance of a homunculus varies based on the will of its creator. Many homunculi appear to be a winged humanoid creature, similar to a gargoyle or tiny demon. Some spellcasters make their homunculi appear more human; vain mages even make these constructs look like themselves.

Creation
Creating a homunculus is a lengthy procedure involving creating the construct’s body from clay and ash and mixing it with the blood of the creator. This blood link allows the creator to see and hear everything the homunculus experiences. However, there is a drawback in that if the construct is slain, the creator suffers damage.
