Gallium veins press against the underside of their crystalline *skin* and gleam warmly. Their body is perfect, and the whole of it is wet with amniotic slick; could they have just now peeled themself off an oil canvas? Were they cast into the material realm by a dreaming, dripping brain? Whatever the embryo, they are now the archetypal *creatureType*; it's all there in impeccable simulacrum: *features*. Perfection is realized.
Cherubim are a group of powerful tier 8 creatures that can be found roaming Qud, as well as guarding the reliquaries to their respective sultans. One cherubim type corresponds to each "old" faction, and the sultans who are allied with such during their time of reign will have their reliquaries guarded by them in the Tomb of the Eaters.
They are of the hidden faction Cherubim, which are neutral to everything. This means they are docile, including when they are found roaming around. However, they will become hostile when provoked. If they are guards, they will also be hostile if their sultan's possessions are stolen or if the creature does not have the Mark of Death.
The additional abilities they gain are related to the sultan's theme. All non-mechanical cherubim have the ability to reheat themselves by 60 degrees if they are ever frozen, and have a 100% chance to reflect projectiles.

Mechanical Cherubim
Dials tick and vacuum tubes mantle under synthetic *skin* and inside plastic joints. *features* are wrought from a vast and furcate machinery into the ideal form of the *creatureType*. By the artistry of their construction, they closely resemble their referent, but an exposed cog here and an exhaust valve there betray the truth of their nature. Their movements are short and mimetic; they inhabit the valley between the mountains of life and imagination.
If the sultan that the cherubim are related to is from the 4th period or later, they will be Mechanical instead. They have slightly different stats than normal cherubim. Mechanical cherubim also will attempt to heat themselves up and reflect projectiles, but they are decreased to 50T and 50% respectively.
