It stands almost 9 feet tall, and bears many long (.3 meter) spines, which it uses in a defensive manner. horl choo 35 5 0 80 1 750 0 3 0 38 2 4 From the corridor enters a peculiar creature. Its shape is human, but it's skin is red-hued and its face is but a blank metal slate. It is dressed in drab colored overalls, and walking in a stiff lock-step. first worker android 20 13 0 100 3 100 0 1 73 52 3 6 You then see another one enter, and join the first. second worker android 20 13 0 100 3 100 0 1 74 52 3 6 After you travel 3/4ths the length of the passageway, another android appears at the opening leading into the central dome.

It stands almost 9 feet tall, has rough, grey skin, and a shark-like head with wide, tooth-filled jaws. Extending from either brow is a thick tentacle which flares out almost 1.2 feet. larger mutated hammerhead 50 15 0 90 0 450 0 4 0 51 3 5 You see that the smaller of the two is still quite fearsome.

He wears no armor, and carries no weapons: he doesn't need any. His natural abilities and dark purple coat of fur are all he needs. He can (and usually does) use his hind legs for movement.
