Jolt homunculi are creatures created by the spell Ell's Handy Homunculus. They're popular pets due to their cute design. They also possess a minor electrical attack.

While generally constructs are neutral, a jolt homunculi picks up the alignment of its creator upon casting.

Combat

Jolt homunculi make poor weapons. When pressed, it employs its shock ability and stays mobile at all times.

Shock (Su)

Every 1d4 rounds, a jolt homunculus may employ electric jolt (Spell Compendium) as the spell, with a caster level equal to its hit dice.

Construction

The body is made of tallow and metal, with the core crystal often embedded in the cheeks. A drop of the caster's blood is mixed in with the tallow, which bonds to the metal skeleton on casting Ell's Handy Homunculus. The entire cost of supplies equals 500 gp.

Assembling the body requires a DC 15 Craft (cooking) or Craft (metalworking) check.
