Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 8870993" data-attributes="member: 57383">I'm not that hung up on that distinction.  Even "mindless" creatures have an Intelligence score in 5E, there is no such thing as an INT 0, INT — or "Intelligence: Non-" monster like there was in previous editions.Consider the <a href="https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/skeleton-common" target="_blank">Skeleton</a> example I mentioned earlier. In AD&D those are completely mindless non-intelligent beings, but in 5E they have INT 6.So we can use existing 5E precedents to give our Dragon Warriors (including the ones the fangs of wondrous power create) a token INT score.For that matter, the use of "create" is clearly in reference to them being produced by a magic item, which does not mean it has to be a construct.In 5E the closest equivalent magic item is a figurine of wondrous power, but those to not create constructs, the figurine becomes a magical flesh-and-blood creature under the command of its activater. A serpentine owl, for example, has all the attributes of a <a href="https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/animal-owl-giant" target="_blank">Giant Owl</a> when in bird form, including its beast type. The only difference between the two creatures is a serpentine owl can telepathically communicate with whoever activates the figurine.If you want to incorporate some of the Argonaut mythology in the Description it makes WAY more sense having the Dragon Warriors be living beings, either Humanoid or Monstrosity, and I think you already know which of those two I prefer!</blockquote>
