'''Non-living''' | '''Non-living''' (or sometimes '''unliving''') is a term that refers to all creatures that have never been ''alive''. The term non-living was officially introduced in {{sod}} manual <!-- the only use of 'non-living' in all the manuals. 'unliving' are not used at all -->, where in the description of [[Elixir of Life]] (a [[combination artifact]]) [[Shadow_of_Death_Manual_Page_26|stated]] that the artifact ''"does not work on [[Undead]] or ''non-living'' creatures"''. Additionally, the non-[[undead]] creatures not affected by the health bonus of [[Elixir of Life]] (golems, elementals and gargoyles) have some more immunities in common, which allows to consider them one group of 'non-living' creatures. | ||
[[Stone Gargoyle and Obsidian Gargoyle|Stone and Obsidian Gargoyles]] are also considered non-living, but they are still affected by [[morale]] and mind spells. | |||
Though [[war machine]]s as units on the battlefield can be considered non-living in some sense, they have their own system of immunities. | |||
{{ | {{cn|Crystal Dragon}}, despite having a strong reference to the golem-like origin in the description (''"made entirely from red crystal and brought to life through magical means..."''), doesn't have any features that would distinguish it among all other living creatures. | ||
