Watchtowers

Watchtowers are towers of living marble topped with a single, multi-pupilled golden eye that can blast beams of fire upon those the towers deem to intrude upon their communal territory or precious ward. They live off of protecting whatever they fancy, from fancy stones to small critters, and can, potentially, be conditioned to guard people, as well. They are incredibly hard to kill, their metallic eye being their only weak point that mortals have any hope of harming. They reproduce when they have protected their target until its death, at which point, the energy of that life will transfer into the eye and make the tower ”cough up” another tower. The smaller the soul, however, the less it contributes to a new tower, so towers guarding an anthill might see thousands of generations pass without being able to reproduce, while one guarding a dragon will be able to reproduce on the first death.
