* The ''[[Ravenloft]]'' setting of ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' gives us the Doll Golem, a small variety of [[Golem]] looking like a child's doll that can be used for guard duties or assassination.

The backstory of the game is how the population of the city of Krat created a whole servitor race of puppets, which malfunctioned and turned against them, resulting in the [[Apocalypse How/Class 0]] state of the setting.
