Fantosemi

Overview
A small, mute, golem-like creature crafted with dark magic and a human soul - often used for the purpose of servicing their household with daily chores such as gardening, cooking, cleaning, and childminding. Their apathetic vacuousness made them easy to manipulate.

They were made from wood and metal, sometimes covered with fabric or animal furs to give them an aesthetically pleasing appearance - making them look like animals could bring them more of an appeal to the children of the puppeteer, considering that they were generally family-oriented inventions.

They were no taller than 4 feet on average, with a lifespan of 5 to 10 years depending on the materials used before they begin to decay and become immobile. The soul will have to be transported to a new Fantosemi body before it escapes into purgatory.

This used to be the old definition for a Fantoccini, but has since become outdated and known as the Fantosemi (Training Puppet).

Examples

 * 1) Kleine - The first Fantoccini ever to be created; wasn't much of a marvel, really - didn't last very long, but still proves to be quite a milestone in Fantoccinism history.
 * 2) George Lambrecht - The first Fantoccini to ever be made with the use of a whole soul from another individual. Poor kid, but new discoveries had to begin somewhere.
