Monodrones make up the bulk
of the population of Nirvana.
They are single-function
modrons,
and are generally assigned
some simple labor or serve as a group to form the regiments of the Nirvanan
Army. <remember, BATTLESYSTEM stats, for the whole thing>
Thousands of spherical monodrones,
armed with spears,
<links>
fouchards, <UA.126:fauchard.pole-sickle?>
and crossbows, <50% light,
50% heavy>
are impressive when marshaled
against the foe, l
as is their unswerving,
single-minded performance.
<lay in a MM-style weapon
table?>
<are modrons born monomaniacs
(DMG.83), by default?>
They exist for their work and what limited conversations they can carry on usually concern their functions.
Monodrones are usually assembled in units of 12 and supervised by a duodrone or tridrone.
One twelfth
<(1 on d12)> of all monodrones lack the spider-like arms and have fan-like
wings attached to the body at a single point.
These faster, smaller creatures
are used as messengers.
They are able to relay perfectly
any message of up to 48 words.
Unlike their armed relatives,
the messenger monodrones
cannot exist in liquid environments.
Monodrone senses are slightly
less than a human's,
though they have a limited
form of infravision (30-foot range).
Winged Monodrone
(1 in 12).
Monaedrone? Maenodrome?
