Autoads are large jumping robots designed to defend the ruins from indigenous life-forms and intruders. Their single eye can capture visual images in a perfect hemisphere, and they are also equipped with an audio sensor to detect sound and changes in air pressure. Designed primarily as trackers, Autoads can travel long distances rapidly and traverse rugged caves, reaching high ledges with their incredibly jumping power. These robots are said to have been inspired by the Ramulken. However, over the centuries, their programming has become corrupted and they leap about erratically, with no apparent purpose.
