Automata

Automata are an artificial being of Jerako, and specifically the Ruby series, created by Humans. Being artificial, they are not capable of magic.

Traits
Automata share several traits with Armora, but lack true life and thus cannot be healed by resting or items. They are animated by the same magic as Dolls and thus do not possess a soul or true intelligence.

Abilities
Automata are highly strong and durable. They quite often wield weaponry in one hand that other races wield in two and can supplement their bodies with the heaviest of additional protection.

Development
Automata were originally conceived as a cruder take on Mecha for Ruby, but the name did not fit in the 6-character limit and an alternative was found in Armora. The graphics were modified rather than saved, leading to the original sprite being lost - the first instance of this in Jerako's entire development. A new, friendlier-looking sprite was created when it was decided to re-include them as Pets for Tinkers, with a less angular look than the original design better fitting the "clockwork doll" concept.
