Siliusk

Siliusk are a fairly rare creature, often considered a subset of Armors, but are more widely considered a special sort of creature. These creatures are animate suits of armors, but unlike armors, they have lantern heads. They also have a fair bit of fabric strips on their armor, sometimes even being hard leather armor. [Sili These creatures' behavior, however, is quite similar to armors. Looking through the deep night, one would see a light blue light in the distance, one that outshone every star. This light would soon approach, and it would eventually find you.
These creatures sense awareness, and even knowing that there is something there can be bad. The best way to avoid this is to look to the stars. Thankfully, these creatures aren't too difficult to kill. It is the same as armors, hit them enough and they collapse, their lanterns falling to the ground and the flame turning a crisp orange.
These creatures, as said earlier, are fairly rare, so merchants should rarely have to worry. They tend to stick to forests or hilly plains, where they cannot be spotted as easily, but are occasionally spotted. They stay far away from permanent intelligent homes, however will approach any temporary camp to attack.
It's speculated that these are lonely folk that have died, or in a lot of legends, leaders, or the lampholders of expeditionaries and adventurers. It is still unknown, but it is likely the second one.
