{{{description}}} A rock bounces into view before sprouting small, needle-like limbs and scrabbling up off the ground. It bears itself up on a half dozen legs or more as two of them legs scratch away some dirt from itself revealing a smudged, glassy surface. The creature pivots itself around to take in its surroundings before skittering forward into the shadows. Although they may not seem to be as exceptional as larger constructs, gear spiders are extremely sophisticated devices. Contained within their elliptical bodies are high-functioning logic engines that make them just slightly “smarter” than their peers, so familiar with a territory that they’re able to recognize when something has been altered or changed. They are limited in their use but far superior to most other guards—untiring, relentless, impartial, and not bad at fighting back when intruders resort to violence.
