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. | Steel Watchers are a fusion of mechanics, necromancy, and illithid psionics.

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 | 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.
