Mecha-noid

Mecha-noids are a race of humanoid robots supposedly created by the Lawn Gnomes of Polovia.

Biology
Mecha-noids are Human-like sapient robots, bearing synthetic skin capable of having freckles and growing hair. In addition, they are able to grow, like organics, and can remain functional after losing limbs. Through unknown means, they can malfunction, causing them to have incredibly vivid delusions of siblings, past events, entirely new planets, and even cause them to forget that their own mechanical nature and purpose. Their malfunctions appear to be able to be fixed by sudden shocks to their minds created by dangerous events, or possibly tied to a certain pit of quicksand known as the Quagmire.

Culture and society
The Mecha-noids are servants to the lawn gnomes, built to manage the gnomes' society during the daytime, when the gnomes are unable to move. The Mecha-noids are known to function with their own Earth-like society during the day, taking on jobs for the lawn gnomes and creating "families," despite being supposedly constructed. Pranks are known to be unusual to them, usually the result of malfunctions. They are known to own animals as pets, but since the only Mecha-noid known to do this was malfunctioning, it is unknown if this is normal.
