An alchemist's little servant, grown in a jar. It still fetches vials for a master long dead.
The Homunculus is one of 16 constructs in Vampire Genesis, creatures of bone, brass and rusted iron. It roams the wilds 3+ steps from your Lair, and you meet it on hunting expeditions. Among its family it has the lowest HP.
