Pagefiends are constructs made from books. They are small, but vicious, and they usually attack in groups, and have the power to magically silence their foes. They are sometimes used as guards in libraries, as they blend right in with the normal books, which their masters use to their advantage. When they attack, the covers sprout tiny fangs that they use to bite opponents. ``` ``` ___ > ## Sub-monodrone >*Small construct, lawful neutral* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 15 (natural armor) > - **Hit Points** 5 (1d8+1) > - **Speed** 25ft., fly 30ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|10 (+0)|13 (+1)|12 (+1)|4 (-3)|10 (+0)|5 (-3)| >___ > - **Senses** truesight 120 ft., passive Perception 10 > - **Languages** Modron > - **Challenge** 1/8 (25 XP) > ___ > ***Axiomatic Mind.*** The monodrone can’t be compelled to act in a manner contrary to its nature or its instructions. > > ***Disintegration.*** If the sub-monodrone dies, its body disintegrates into dust, leaving behind its weapons and anything else it was carrying. > > ***Constructed Nature.*** A tiny modron doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep. > > ### Actions > ***Dagger.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +3 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* 3 (1d6) piercing damage. > > ***Javelin.*** *Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack:* +2 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* 4 (1d6) piercing damage.

If a monodrone is destroyed, a sub-monodrone is promoted to the rank of monodrone, transforming is a flash of light and gaining the monodrone form.

HOMEBREW MONSTER MANUAL

# Animated Teddy Bear Created by a powerful artificer, a young child’s bear was animated as a construct to watch over her. During the bear’s creation, a little more than the tiny spark of life required for constructs was brought over. In possession of a little more intelligence than a construct, he performed his duties well. When a small golden necklace with a teddy bear pendant is worn by a creature, the bear is animated and conscious, and the creature becomes the bear's ward. He keeps watch over sleeping characters and will offer comfort to the player if they are sad, and even attack an enemy to defend a sleeping creature.
