Metalloid

Metalloids are former metallic items that have been imbued with sentience by the black ooze that acts as the creatures blood. While the physical form of a metalloid can be broken down by combat to an unusable state, the ooze itself can escape the host metal body and flee to find other forms of metal and repeat the process. The ooze is unaffected by normal means of damage, as its body may split and rejoin as it pleases. Fire noticeably does little to it, which may have to do with their origins in Deep Ash. Aether sources are particularly effective in breaking down the metal bodies of metalloids. Further testing would be required with sources I am less familiar with to find other weaknesses. Hopefully something can be done to the ooze itself.
