Hodmedod

Hodmedods are fabric constructs that were common in Avalir during the Age of Arcanum. They are produced if not created by Nydas Okiro.

Appearance
Hodmedods are made of red and blue fabric and look somewhat like scarecrows.

Characteristics
Hodmedods can speak a limited range of pre-recorded messages, but are not sentient beings.

History
Nydas Okiro, who produces the hodmedods if not created them, arrived at the pre-Replenishment party at the Palazzo Por'co with 700 hodmedods. Bolo spoke to one hodmedod and was unimpressed with it, calling it a "bag", and asked Cerrit Agrupnin to destroy it.

Another hodmedod began acting strangely. Patia Por'co cast Detect Thoughts and detected the words "Ghor Dranas" coming from it, even though hodmedods are not thinking creatures. The hodmedod then deanimated, becoming an inert pile of clothing. It was later determined that this creature had not been a true hodmedod, but rather the unidentified cleric of a Betrayer God in disguise.
