Haunted Clockwork

Source Tian Xia World Guide pg. 286
The constructs of the Clicking Caverns all have similar designs, being made of clockwork. The most unusual feature of them is that they’re self-replicating, or perhaps self-reincarnating, since the animation of a haunted construct requires a soul.

All haunted constructs yearn to embellish their frames. They prize unique materials, delicate or skillful constructions, and ornaments. In addition to decorating their current body, they use these materials to build a new body as the haunted construct becomes larger and more powerful.
