Marionette

AC:DM Bestiary Description
''Marionettes are strange constructs that appeared in Dereth in Portal Year 12. Most have no idea where or when they began to appear, only that they can now be found in the deeps of the A’mun desert. Some think they are the unfortunate manifestations of those who became stuck in portal space, come to seek vengeance upon the living. Others whisper that the Virindi have something to do with their sudden appearance, and look with fear at the empty crypts of the desert. Either way, they are creatures to be feared, for all types can cast magic, and are extremely resistant to cold and lightning.''
