Description
Arcane Sentinels are Constructs built to patrol large regions to police the use of magic. Though dangerous on their own, Arcane Sentinels are best when working together to neutralize an opponent. Arcane Sentinels have four mechanical, spider-like legs that come to a very sharp point.
While in Crystal Form, these legs are big enough to form together around the rest of it's body, encasing it. The Arcane Sentinel emits a low level humming noise as it floats through the air in its Crystal Form, and has a slow rotational orbit that's noticeable while stationary. Multiple Sentinels can come together and begin to orbit around each other to form a sort of hub for which they can share information amongst themselves while patrolling a location for magic users.
While in Stalker Form, Arcane Sentinels resemble a four-legged spider with its Grapple Cage resembling the abdomen. The construct's inner working of gears, motors, and a central power crystal make up the cephalothorax. The head has six eyes; two larger eyes for frontal vision, and two smaller eyes on each side to allow a 240 degree field of view, as well as the ability to use a sort of night vision while in darkness.
