I need to know the name of a being that only exists when it's needed to do something.?
Of course it's fictional, but there has to be something like it in the stories of an ancient culture somewhere. It may be fictional, but it has to have a real name.

A Golem.
In Hebraic mysticism, a monstrous automaton given life through magic. Many such robots have appeared in Hebrew mythology. The sixteenth-century kabalist Elijah of Chelm wrote a mystical, divine name on the forehead of his android to bring it to life. Rabbi Judah Loew of Prague made a Golem to protect the welfare of the Jews, but in order to prevent the creature from working on the Sabbath, he removed the secret life-principle from it on the Sabbath eve. Rules are rules.
