Automobilids

Automobilids are a fascinating, albeit fictional, group of creatures originating from the popular role-playing game Pathfinder. They are not real animals, but rather are depicted as intelligent, sentient beings with a unique physiology. Automobilids are described as having bodies that resemble a combination of organic and mechanical components, hence their name, which hints at an "automobile" like structure. Their exact origins within the Pathfinder lore are varied, with some tales suggesting they were created by ancient artificers, while others propose they are the result of magical experimentation gone awry.

These beings are characterized by their metallic exoskeletons, segmented limbs, and often glowing ocular sensors. Their internal workings are complex, blending biological systems with what appears to be clockwork or magical energy. Automobilids are known for their analytical minds and a general lack of strong emotions, though some individuals can develop unique personalities and loyalties. They often serve as guardians, researchers, or skilled craftspeople within the game's setting. Their society, if it can be called that, is typically organized around logic and purpose rather than social hierarchies. Their existence raises questions about the nature of life and consciousness, blurring the lines between the natural and the artificial.
