ABOUT

This massive pastry has arms, legs, and no head as it lumbers forward.

Bread automatons are manufactured by mad bakers, usually in secret, using leftover ingredients to create a tough, flaky interior. They are mindless, doing their owner’s bidding, and can be even used as mounts by their masters if they’re so inclined.

The secret weakness of bread automatons is in their creation; they are vulnerable to heat, which melts the butter required to make them.
