Planescape Mimir Conversion?

It occupies that odd little niche between magic item and construct. I think in 2e they were 2,000 gp but the pricing seems a little off for 3e. I did find a stat bloc after digging around a bit more at Planewalker but it seems a bit geared for using a mimir as a familiar (tiny construct with weapon finesse (bite)). Not sure if 2e ever statted up the mimir implicitly as a magic item either but I'm leaning towards the 'mimir's are tape-recorders that can cross reference entries' rather than the portable flying sage camp.

So before I did any real work on it for my campaign to come up with something close, I figured I'd ask around:)

Anyway for completeness here's the anonymous monster entry I found at planewalker--

A mimir looks like a large, stylized human skull made of metal. It is a magical item, but has stats like a creature.

Combat

Mimirs can do very little damage, so they don't usually fight. One might, however, bite the hand of someone trying to steal it.

Habitat/Society

Mimirs are often sold in Sigil as handy sources of information about the planes. They usually speak Common, but can be programmed to speak a different language. A mimir can be used as a familiar for an arcane spellcaster; such a familiar grants its master a +1 bonus to all Knowledge skills the master knows while within 1 mile of the master. Information on creating mimirs as magical items will be added to the magic item section.0

Ecology

None.
