Perishing ones (Inanimachinae peruendo) 

Some automatons and Artifex within their unending existence became mad. By their endless exile, traumating experiences or by being put together after a prolonged time without a body, many Artifex end up the same. Such machines become erratic and dangerous, they often start killing and acting like wild animals. It is suspected that the soul (or whatever it would be), the part that gives them consciousness changes or even dies. Those creatures are not mindless as they use their accumulated knowledge, albeit at limited scope. It seems that to some degree they feed on magic of haunted creatures they seem to ignore non magical beings. Generally seen accompanying groups of rustwalkers they can also be spotted in small groups or solo.

Appearance: They look like old automatons or Arifex, humanoid in shape and often equipped with various curious items they use to hunt or fix themselves. Altho generally in good technical shape, they often look neglected and dirty. In some rare cases they wear camouflage or liken themself to resemble Rustwalkers. They are quite agile and very dangerous.
