Yeah and I think D&D is actually kind of missing a type of creature like that, a sort of almost more robotic enemy in a sense. Gibberlings are the closest thing I can think of.I kind of like darkspawn in the World of Magnamund.
Spawn "born" in a vat from dark magic infused with the soul stuff of the god of darkness himself.
They're self aware somewhat but literally can't be anything else at least not without deific intervention or an archmage tweaking them.
Literally spawn of evil.
