The term ''non-living'' was introduced in the {{sod}} manual, the only use of ''non-living'' in the manuals (used to describe creatures unaffected by the {{Elixir of Life}}). ''Unliving'' is not used at all in the manuals but replaces ''non-living'' in the in-game description of the {{l|Elixir of Life}}. The manual [[Shadow of Death Manual Page 26|states]] that the artifact "does not work on [[undead]] or ''non-living'' creatures". Additionally, the non-[[undead]] creatures not affected by the health bonus of the {{l|Elixir of Life}}, (golems, elementals and gargoyles), have other immunities in common, which allows them to be considered one group of ''non-living'' creatures. | ||
