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 Shadow of Death manual , where in the description of Elixir of Life (a combination artifact) 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 and Obsidian Gargoyles are also considered non-living, but they are still affected by morale and mind spells.

Though war machines as units on the battlefield can be considered non-living in some sense, they have their own system of immunities.

Crystal Dragon 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.
