A towering mechanical guardian with a fusion of intricate Mesopotamian artistry and advanced machinery, etched with luminous runes that pulse with an otherworldly glow. Its metallic frame is weathered but adorned with engravings of ancient symbols and mythical creatures.

A cataclysmic event infused the mechanical sentinel with dark underworld magic, granting it sentience and a fragmented memory of its origins.
