In Dungeons & Dragons, a Puppet is typically a construct or magical creature that is controlled by an external force, often a spell or a master. It is commonly used by spellcasters or other individuals with control over magic to carry out tasks or combat actions without putting themselves in harm's way. Puppets can range from simple, enchanted figures to complex constructs with unique abilities and traits. The most notable type of Puppet is often found through the spell Animate Objects, where small, inanimate items or creatures are brought to life temporarily and given the ability to move and act under the caster's control.

While Puppets are not as common as other creatures in D&D, their role is often one of utility or strategy. Some spellcasters might use them to deceive enemies, scout areas, or perform specific actions like retrieving an item or opening a door. They may not be capable of independent thought or action and are usually bound by the commands of their creator or the magic animating them. Puppets are often seen as extensions of the caster's will, and their abilities are typically limited by the nature of the controlling magic or the type of object that is being animated.

A more permanent type of Puppet can be found in the form of a Puppet Master, a character who has honed their craft to create and control living puppets with distinct personalities or abilities. These creatures can act autonomously to an extent but still require direction. In this context, Puppets can add layers of intrigue to the role-playing experience, offering opportunities for strategy and creativity, allowing players to engage in unique interactions within the game world.
