"Shadow Golem" -- need to find referenced creature, likely from Monster Manual II

[Max_Killjoy]

There was a reference made elsewhere to an entry in the 3rd edition Monster Manual II -- a construct somewhat like a golem, but more clockworkish, and inhabited by a shadow spirit instead of an earth spirit.

Could someone with access to that book give me the actual name, the page number, and an overview?

Thanks.

Crafted on the plane of shadow is the shadesteel golem MM III p. 72.

Not mine but a useful list of the different kinds of golems: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthr...f-Golems-Redux

The creatures you are likely thinking of are not actually classified as Golems. They are constructs, but they don't have "Golem" in their name.

They are either from Monster Manual 2 or Fiend Folio. They are featured in the first part of the Shackled City AP.

I can't remember the name but your description is a pefect fit.

I will check my books if I get home from work.

Automatons, from Monster Manual 2.

Yes, Automatons

[Max_Killjoy]

THAT is what I was looking for, thank you.

3e Monster Manual II, pg 27-28 -- Automatons.

Huh. I'd never read their fluff before...I had no idea of their shadowy connections.

On a related note, Pathfinder has Shadow Golems, too. Different yet still similar. CR 14.
