Non-living (also unliving) is a term that refers to all creatures that are not considered to be alive. All non-living creatures have similar traits that typically somehow concern "life force". For example, all non-living creatures are immune to vampire lords' life drain.
The term non-living was officially introduced in Shadow of Death manual, where in the description of Elixir of Life artifact stated that the artifact "does not work on Undead or non-living creatures". Although that description suggest that Undead would not be considered as non-living creatures, it is commonly acknowledged fact that Undead are also non-living beings. Additionally, Golems and Elementals are considered to be non-living creatures in Heroes of Might and Magic III.
While Stone and Obsidian Gargoyles have traits similar to Golems, they are not Golems, as they are still affected by morale. Gargoyles are the only creatures in the game that are considered solely as non-living creatures.
