Homebrew (M)Coral Construct Species Details
Forged not from steel but from living coral, these constructs are grown by deep-ocean civilizations as guardians, workers, and companions. They have a body of hardened coral plating fused with enchanted framework. Unlike traditional golems, Coral Constructs can think, feel, and learn — though their emotions are subtle, filtered through their strange, alien perspective of time and growth.
