Living Ovens
Living ovens are a type of cooking construct that can prepare, cook, and plate food. Though they are now used to help make kitchen work easier those of the longer lived races remember the horrible whistles of what the Living Ovens were original used for.
Basic Information
Anatomy
All Living Ovens have four legs, two long arms toward the tops of there cauldronesque bodies, and atleast one grated door(To put in and pull out food). Some models are fashioned with heads to give them a more "approachable" look.
Most models of Living Oven that one might see are made out of locally and ethiclly sourced Iron. That is then cast into the form that is known and loved today. After which one of our talented Gnomish Rune Artisans is magically floated inside to start the long process of bringing the Living Oven to "Life".
Behaviour
Living Ovens love to cook. The problem that sometimes comes about is that if they do not have things that are prepared for them they will find it on their own, which has ended in the staff of a nobles mansion being cooked and plated for a grand feast.
Additional Information
Domestication
The Living Ovens were originally used as torture devices. People would be locked into them and then the Living Oven would walk over a fire to heat themselves. One could always tell when a Living Oven was in use by the high pitched whistle they would emit when at full temperature. Most countries have banned the use of these constructs as torture devices. They have been repurposed as cooking appliances.
