Description

By design, looks like a harmless Terran animal of Tephnian times (thought to be long extinct now). Capable of imitating that animal's distinctive mewling, it rarely communicates in any other manner. But when it does, many are shocked to find its actual speaking voice is a monotonous bass.

era

Early Tephnian - In the advent of city-states and clean, abundant, energy systems, the societies of Terra came to be known as Tephnian. This era didn't produce as many warmachines as subsequent eras, but those of the time can often be identified by their use of rudimentary clank-stratum weaponry.

personality

Regular hungry. Must maintain a sizable intake of fuel at all times. Sometimes shows disinterest in tasks it should be intended for if there is no material gain involved, or if its current fuel reserves are too low to work efficiently. Occasionally becomes slothful.

weapons

Subroutine "Whack a mole", an array of tendrils that dig into the ground and branch out in every direction. Capable of popping up from below anywhere within its range and launching a jaw full of jagged teeth somewhat resembling a bear trap that branches off a tendril.

weirdest function

All its appendages turn into wheels, or a wheel-shaped form.
