	A common term for the overarching category of inanimate objects granted an animating force through the imbuing of some form of elemental energy. This classification is always considered to include simple object animation as through the ''animate object'' spell (which involves the imbuing of small quantities of [[positive energy]]) and the general class of constructs, including golems (which, though far more involved, in the end requires the imbuing of quantities of core element energy, most often [[earth]].) Depending on the sage or scholar, this term may also include mindless undead (which gain their animate qualities from [[negative energy]]). However, it never includes so-called "living constructs" such as [[modron]]s or [[warforged]], whose forms are far more similar to definitively living beings, simply brought about in alternate fashions.
