What creature type for sentient golem?

[dekrass]

What creature type would be right for a sapient metal and magic construct if you want it to be susceptible to mental attacks? I'm working on putting a setting into game mechanics, and one of the PC races is basically a smaller iron golem with a mind like a human. Since automatons are immune to mental attacks that type doesn't seem right. I'm not sure if they should be humanoid, or if I should make a new type just for them.

Any advice or opinions would be welcomed.

Just make it an automaton and give it an exploit which says it is susceptible to mental attacks?

Huh. Now that you mention it, that seems obvious.
Thanks for the much needed, logical assistance.
