Creatures that are made instead of born. Some only follow a simple set of instructions, while others are imbued with sentience.
Constructs are a type of creature found within Baldur's Gate 3. They are mechanical and non-biological entities animated through magical or technological means. They are frequently encountered throughout the game and can even be summoned by the player with certain spells.

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 tadpoled 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.[text 1]
