Lorewise maruts are damn near incorruptable, but even just a rogue modron could be cool if done right. A marut is also unlikely to misinterpret the contract, but the signatories might have.

“[…] A marut enforces what is written, not what was meant by or supposed to be understood from the writing. The Kolyarut rejects contracts that contain vague, contradictory, or unenforceable terms. Beyond that, it doesn’t care whether both parties understand what they’re agreeing to.” There’s also a reason they’re called “nigh-unstoppable inevitables”.

I guess now that I think about it, a simulacrum is a construct as well, but I’d have a hard time counting one of them. Most powerful constructs tend to be golems or a colossus like the Walking Statues of Waterdeep, not independent thinkers, just powerful brute force minions.

Adding Discworld - Feet of Clay to my reading list...

The characters in the top panel are from a New Yorker cartoon. I think it’s supposed to be blushing?

I may have posted the original meme in a discord server somewhere, but I put it on imgur now so it’s available publicly. ~You~ ~may~ ~be~ ~able~ ~to~ ~see~ ~why~ ~the~ ~idea~ ~of~ ~a~ ~BBEG~ ~bard~ ~brought~ ~this~ ~to~ ~mind.~

Edit: Found where I originally put it on imgur. Huzzah, the history is preserved.

A homebrew GLaDOS-esk villain could be cool.

I’ve been considering doing something with a rogue decaton. Maybe drop some rumors or hints that make it sound like a beholder amassing a construct army, only to reveal it’s a decaton with a bunch of pentadrone minons that never question why their boss has started drifting into LE territory with the orders lately.
