Those who invent and tinker with arcanomechanical are often seen as prodigies, artisan artificers of their times. While many of their creations are works of their own ingenuity, others seem to have inspiration from the Clockwork Nirvana of Mechanus. These creations are beyond anything the Prime Material could fathom, and are often used to enhance cities to industrial revolutions, or wipe out adversaries with their constructed might.

However, once these artificers’ spark of creativity is infused with extra-planar influence, the allure of even greater power is intoxicating and often hard to resist, resulting in further, darker experiments. The creations of Artificial Intelligence, Cybernetic Organisms, or war machines of incredible destruction are all facets of such machinations of these minds.

Clockwork trolls are one such invention. At first glance, they may look like the silhouette of a real troll, but upon closer inspection, more of its mechanical nature is revealed. Its entire body is made of metal plating. Its eyes glow a constant red. One of its arms is larger and heavier than the other, housing a cable to allows the hand to be propelled forward and retracted like a harpoon. And its entire body seems to thrum and crackle with electricity, repairing any injuries it may have received.

Unlike other clockwork creations, the artificial intelligence that drives the Clockwork Troll was corrupted by its programmer, resulting in a personality and mannerisms much darker than the average automaton. It has bloodlust and a desire to be a weapon, and is often uncontrollable, as those who have attempted to create one have fatally learned.
