Crude, shabby little things hastily slapped together from odd bits of dough and infused with the life force drawn off of the excised portions of patients' bodies scrounged from the waste-hampers of surgeons, butchers and anyone else who performs similar operations of removal or amputations.

They may have been intended to serve some Midwife or Hedgecaster, but that didn't really work out so well. Now these things have gone feral and hunt Thumblings and other little-people through the spaces between walls and floors.

Some refugee families have taken to live-catching Doughmunculi and then baking them...

Inspiration: After visiting one of my favorite bakeries, we had Stromboli. It was an excellent meal. Things just sort of clicked into place afterwards...

Type 7 Homunculi are molded, raised and brought into a semblance of life through a combination of strange yeasts and a peculiar dough that originated with someone, some place or something known only as Verdrum. These homunculi are smaller than average, often under two feet tall. Their doughly flesh is slightly malleable, allowing them to slip through bars or small openings. If baked (as in exposed to the backblast of a fireball...) a Verdrum Dough Homunculus will yield enough non-spoiling bread to feed a group of 4 for two weeks.

These sorts of homunculi tend to have a peculiar knack for bonding with Grikflits. It is suspected it has a lot to do with their beer-like body-odor.
