Non-living (or sometimes unliving) is a term that refers to all creatures that have never been alive. 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 (a combination artifact) stated that the artifact "does not work on Undead or non-living creatures". Additionally, Golems and Elementals are considered to be non-living creatures in Heroes of Might and Magic III.
