Pipe Beasts are unnatural arcane constructs and are generally created to guard and protect specific rooms or items. Because of this singular focus it will attack anyone who enters the room or guarded area, with the exception of the person who created it, until the threat is destroyed or the pipe beast is.

A pipe beast is well-equipped for this type of duty with powerful pincer-like claws and a slashing tail. Pipe beasts have a very hard chitinous exoskeleton which provides ample protection against most weapons; further, because of their construction fire seems to have no effect on them.
