ABOUT

The most noteworthy appearance of this humanoid is its seven hands: one made of iron, one of leather, one of wood, two red rubber hands, and two human-like hands.

Mernite golems are life-like constructs that are used by mernites to manage their chores. The mernites themselves have less arms and can transform into butterfly-like shapes, but their mernites are more sensibly formed to complete tasks mernites prefer not to do.

Hard Workers. Mernite golems believe in hard labor and the fruits thereof and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.

And it’s a good thing too, because they have many hands: an iron hand for ironing, lifting hot pots from the stove and all horrid sort of hard work; a leather hand for beating rugs, dusting, and sweeping; a wooden hand for churning and digging in the garden; two red rubber hands for dishwashing and scrubbing, and two human hands for everything else. Mernite golems are surprisingly resourceful and dangerous combatants if threatened.

Always Armed. Although they have little experience with most of Faerie, they adapt quickly, and put their multiple arms to good use.
