Arkons (Theous)

Arkons

Arkons are primarily comprised of stone, although they possess crystal cores. Arkons look almost as though they are stone golems, although this is merely a misconception, as they are not created by a wielder of the arcane arts. They are mostly comprised of metal ore, most often iron, copper, or tin, although gold and silver are not uncommon. The eyes of the Arkon resemble glowing orbs, and are typically a color resembling the metal they are composed of.
