Crowd pummeler

Crowd pummelers are a type of gnomish and goblin mechanical constructs, of which different models exist.

The RPG uses the Crowd Pummeler 9-60 encounter as the main example of this type of robot, and seems to derive their race name from that. XM-024 Pummellers use the name. The Lil' Smoky pet implies that "crowd pummelers" are a type of armament that a robot can have. Goblins of Kezan have built the Coin-Operated Crowd Pummeler.

Crowd pummelers are cheap and easy-to-maintain devices made for sentry duty. These constructs are made of red pipes and pistons, and have one green robotic eye that they use to watch the area around them.

The gnomes of Gnomeregan used these robots to patrol their streets and bash anything they notice that violates the laws programmed into them. Since Gnomeregan's fall, most are programmed to attack anything that is not a leper gnome.

Crowd pummelers recognize Common, but only an experienced tinker, using the correct technological codes, may command them. In the past, a pummeler warned nearby violators aloud, giving them a short time to halt their offenses, but now all they say is "Intruder!" before charging.

Crowd pummelers lack finesse, simply charging into combat and smashing any enemy in sight. If multiple crowd pummelers are commanded to capture a target, one bashes and others deal nonlethal damage.
