Steel Watchers are a fusion of mechanics, necromancy, and illithid psionics. They were designed by [[Enver Gortash]] and deployed to the streets of Baldur's Gate. There, they enforce Gortash's will and play a pivotal role in his power grab. | |||
The design of the Steel Watchers was based on a [[Gondian]] design for an Auto-Guard, an exoskeleton intended to be piloted by a small individual. Instead of the living pilot, however, the armour is controlled by the decapitated body of a [[tadpole]]d zombie. The disembodied head maintains a psionic connection to the body thanks to the tadpole and can remotely puppet the Steel Watcher. In turn, the tadpoled brain is commanded by the Absolute.{{cite text|{{RarityItem|How to Build a Watcher}}}} | |||

The leaders of the [[Cult of the Absolute]] frequently uses {{CharLink|Scrying Eye|Scrying Eyes}} to monitor their underlings. They can be found patrolling Absolute outposts in the [[Shattered Sanctum]], [[Grymforge]], and [[Moonrise Towers]]. While they have no defensive capabilities of their own, they will alert nearby allies of any disturbance. | |||
