Community Spotlight: Dwarven Constructs by TheBeardedDM

The Animunculi of the Dwemer still haunt the halls of their ancient ruins, protecting and maintaining what their creators left behind. @TheBeardedDM has put together a handful of Dwemer stat blocks for use in his home game and has graciously shared them with all of us. Have you built any Elder Scrolls creatures for your game? Let us know in the comments below. If you're willing to share them, you can be featured in your own post! Enjoy!
