It is not subject to extra damage from critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain. It cannot heal damage, but it can be repaired. Skills: *In areas of darkness or shadowy illumination, a midnight construct gains a +10 racial bonus on Hide checks.
