Homunculus

Homunculus (自然の収差 (ホムンクルス), Homunkurusu; Literally meaning "Nature's Aberration") are a sentient, Magic-wielding species that were artificially constructed through humanity's attempts to create the perfect. Their creation was soon considered taboo due to the price one had to pay for their successful birth, leading only or other secretive factions to engage in the said process, while warrants for their death are constantly issued out.

Trivia

 * Homunculi, according to several accomplished mages, scientists and esoterologists, can be considered reverse-engineered Lacrima with a humanoid shape and sentience.
