@Satsuma but this is actually the result of me thinking about non‐golem automatons in contemporary fiction in response to a question by ellie about terminology for them

@Satsuma plastic production is definitely a necro *something*

actually Frankenstein was the name of the scientist. the creature’s name is Bionicle
