Ink golems. Most notable for their use in scholarly institutions to teach novices the ways of golem making and revival sorceries, they hardly see use outside of this purpose.

They are infamous for leaving permanent stains on most surfaces and being generally uncanny and unliked.

Despite their fluid properties allowing for a great deal of transformation and agility, as well as near limitless possibilities for customization; many scholars rarely ever utilize ink golems to their full potential due to a noticeable lack of artistry skills in the academic world of magic.

If they are not de-animated by their creators, they are simply kept in storage, whereupon they are fated to slowly soak into the wood and dry out.
