Digging On-land Observation and Killing Instrument

Written by Mels

"Finally! My original creation is complete, now only to give it a fitting title for the destruction and absolute pants-shitting fear this baby is going to cause... Ah! Perfect, the Digging On-Land Observation and Killing Instrument.... D.O.O.K.I. for short."

Power Generation

Power generation methods for the D.O.O.K.I. varies from one engineer to another but common methods include the channeling of magic to direct energy into thrust, combustion of flammable materials or even sheer man-power (or goblin-power).

Weapons & Armament

Weaponry of a D.O.O.K.I. depends highly upon the engineer/driver and their combat preferences. Examples of common weaponry include crossbows, harpoons, flails, blowguns and nets. However, many Waste Riders take great pride in fully customizing their D.O.O.K.I.s and will often invent their own combination-style weapons to invoke fear in their enemies and awe in their peers. Examples of special combinations include a windmill of scimitars, sickle-like appendages that raise the vehicle into the air and allow for stabbing below, or even just a canon that shoots hammers.

Armor and defense

Driver/passenger compartments and cargo holds are particularly armored, usually covered in sheets of metal or hardwood. Due to the amount of times that D.O.O.K.I. are usually broken down and reassembled, they tend to not be exceptionally sturdy.

Additional & auxiliary systems

Almost all D.O.O.K.I. are equipped with some sort of digging apparatus, be this some sort of drill or arms to shovel debris out of the way, as Prismastonesare primarily extracted via these vehicles.
