Description
A Golden Horror leads all the clockwork horror forces on an entire planet. These machines are capable of subjugating an entire Material World in a frighteningly short amount of time. Their geometric replication is far more efficient then any Demon Lord, and unless the Golden Horror is quickly located & killed, the swarm will inevitably grow in size until it becomes mathematically impossible for a group of 4 to 8 humanoids to fight them all.
With blue control gems and magically reinforced plating, Gold Horrors must directly create all lesser horrors, with the exeption of copper horrors (See Clockwork Horrors in Spelljammers Monstruous Compendium). While the lowest & simplest form of clockwork horrors may have evolved to the point that they can self-replicate, Steel, Silver & Electrum horrors can only be made by Gold, Platinum & Adamantite horrors. Because of this, Copper Horrors greatly outnumber all other kinds.
Clockwork Horrors: Clockwork Horrors attack their foes with calculated, merciless precision. Lesser horrors unswervingly follow the orders of their superiors, fighting to the death if so commanded. In battle, clockwork horrors swarm around foes and whittle away at them while calling for reinforcements. A clockwork horror's weaponry is a part of its being, so it cannot be disarmed. When it dies, the gem in its brow disintegrates, and its body fuses into a mass of melted metal.
