Species: Biochemical Warfare Machine

Family: Automaton

Risk level: High

Weaknesses: Electricity

Description: Leftover tools of war. In ancient times used to spread diseases and weakening enemy armies. Nowadays they are only found in ruins and poisonous swamps. The knowledge of how to craft them was lost with the end of Golden Ages and maybe it is for everyones benefit for it to stay that way.

They are 3 meter, bulky, iron golems, looking like old diving suits. On their backs they have two glass tubes connected to their shoulders. Both of them contain green, bioluminescent substance which they can shoot from their hands at distance of one hundred meters. This liquid is a mixture of very sticky, easily vaporous acid which can spread on wide areas. Inhaling said acid can cause instant lung melting and massive damage to digesting system. This substance isn`t the only danger they can pose. Even though they look like they can barely move they can run as fast as horses. Also because of their weight their sheer punch strenght is enough to dent even the most sturdy armors.

After their destruction or corrosion they spread acidic lakes in their immediate surroundings causing it to become unhabitable. Because of that it is ill advised to engage with them in a fight or go anywhere near them to avoid unnecesary losses.

Personal notes: "Thank God that they are no longer used in combat. Even to this day ancient battlefield sites where they were used are highly corrupted and unusable. Thankfully they don`t wander to far from their usual location and their range is rather limited so they aren`t dangerous if not provoked. Of corse there will always be an idiot that decides to 'kill the beast' and fights it alone even after many warning. At least we don`t have to clean them up afterwords. Another liquid in acid lake."
