The Master walked over to the strange symmetrical mechanism. He flipped it over... The sands of the hourglass began to flow and it whirred to life. "One hour," said The Master, "Practice."

A powerful golem of Tar and Sand, ideal for pulverizing one’s foes.

They are so cute. They follow you around like a puppy. It is a badge of honor to be interesting enough to be followed by one of them.
