For all her own skill at remaining unseen, there is little to be done for hiding the Everficer’s towering minion. Blood weeps from the seams of the armor covering every inch of the Direnaut’s hulking body, and were all that not enough to inspire fear, its imposing helmet denies anyone from seeing its face—and the horror of what could be waiting behind that metal is more than enough to scare common folk. It’s typical to find the Direnaut waiting for its mistress near a settlement or in a remote patch of wilderness, dragging a mobile laboratory for the Everficer.
Humanoids include a number of different intelligent, language-using bipeds of Small or Medium size. Humans and elves are humanoids, and so are orcs and goblins. Humanoids may employ magic but are not fundamentally magical—a characteristic that distinguishes them from bipedal, language-using fey, fiends, and other monsters. Humanoids have no inherent alignment, meaning that no humanoid ancestry is naturally good or evil, lawful or chaotic.
