Homunculus Overview  [1], [2], [3]

A homunculus is a construct… the [creator and it] sharing thoughts, senses, and language through a mystical bond. [2]

In Eberron

Setting: Eberron
A homunculus is a construct servant created for certain tasks. Artificers and wizards are responsible for most of the homunculi in existence.

Each kind of homunculus has a body constructed from different kinds of materials, including clay, iron, and bits of hair and feathers… [and it's] creator's blood and animated through an extended magical ritual. [3]

Other Lore

 [SRD3 OGL] [4] 
 3.5e lore 
A homunculus is a miniature servant created by a wizard. These creatures are weak combatants but make effective spies, messengers, and scouts. A homunculus’s creator determines its precise features. Homunculi are little more than tools designed to carry out assigned tasks. They are extensions of their creators, sharing the same alignment and basic nature. A homunculus cannot speak, but the process of creating one links it telepathically with its creator.

It knows what its master knows and can convey to him or her everything it sees and hears, out to a distance of 1,500 feet. A homunculus never travels beyond this range willingly, though it can be removed forcibly. If this occurs, the creature does everything in its power to regain contact with its master. An attack that destroys a homunculus deals 2d10 points of damage to its master.

If the creature’s master is slain, the homunculus also dies, and its body swiftly melts away into a pool of ichor.
