Ecology

Retriever is a built thing, requiring no food or rest; its presence in the world depends on whoever (or whatever) animates it. It is most often found in desert regions. It is large-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.

Behaviour

Retriever is follows its programming or its master's orders without deviation. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is largely instinct-driven; complex strategy is the work of whoever (or whatever) commands it. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.

Origin

Retriever is reprinted in Monsters of the Multiverse and expanded in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
