Helmed Horrors

Resembling an animated suit of empty plate armour, a helmed horror serves without ambition or emotion. Unlike many other constructs, helmed horrors possess intelligence, the ability to reason, and the wherewithal to adjust their tactics. Still they possess an unswerving devotion to their makers, as most other constructs do. 
In the process of instilling the armour with artificial sentience, many glyphs and wards are written into the metal. Often these will include painstakingly rendered protection glyphs that turn helmed horrors into a nightmare enemy for a spellcaster. They can be instilled with immunity to a limited number of spells of their creator's choosing, their defences against magical damage are remarkable, and if their enemies use spells they are theoretically susceptible to, helmed horrors are still difficult to stick with magic even then!
