The '''Construct Family''' consists of a variety of machines and automatons found throughout the Clockworks.

The '''Drone Family''' of monsters is different than the other monster families in that it does not have a type and therefore do not have any weaknessess or resistances. They do not have their own emblem and do not have their own stratum theme. Drones can be found in many levels of various themes and are just "level hazards" in the way that they simply move within their parameters and cause damage or status effects when they come into contact with knights. Drones do not have item drops.

However, their efforts are often marred by their own tendency to break what it is they're attempting to fix -- or in many cases, blow it up completely (they're fond of explosives). It is believed that gremlins get their orders from the core itself, but for now, their secret is safe, as the gremlin language is completely indecipherable to any other intelligent race.

Monster Group.png

Monsters are the terrible creatures that can be found within the ever-changing halls of the Clockworks. Varying greatly in strength and intelligence, monsters are the primary obstacle keeping the Spiral Knights from the secrets and treasures of the world beneath Cradle.
