Titan Skeledroid

Skeledroids have their uses, but their limited intellect and frail physique greatly limits their potential. This is where Titan Skeledroids come in. They are smarter than the average Skeledroid, but their most notable quality is their ability to add metal and bones to their structure to augment it. While over time this eliminates the reach of their extendable appendages, the gain in armor and firepower far outweighs this cost.   A Titan Skeledroid starts out looking like a normal Skeledroid, until they begin assimilating both metal and bone to their structure. It is important to note that there must be some kind of equilibrium; if it has assimilated a certain amount of bone, it cannot assimilate any more bone until it gains some metal to compliment it. With each equalized assimilation, the Skeledroid becomes stronger, more durable, and vastly more intelligent. Unfortunately, this increased intellect does not come without a price, and many necromancers soon lose control of Titan Skeledroids that have grown to the size of a one-story house.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Titan Skeledroid's appearance varies from one to another, but they generally look like a mishmash of whatever bones and technology they happened to stumble across. While they usually try to maintain a humanoid appearance, some larger ones have been noted to take on a more bestial stance, with some reports claiming that they began building tiny wing-like protrusions on their back. It is unknown what shape they would take on if allowed, as the ANS have been very diligent at ensuring they never get that strong.

Additional Information

Uses, Products & Exploitation

Titan Skeledroids are used by the most careful or desperate necromancers, as the risk of their rebellion grows with their intelligence. They are generally used as heavy artillery in battle, and as earth moving equipment around the house.

Average Intelligence

Titan Skeledroids start out smart enough to form semi-complex attack plans, and this intelligence grows a little with every bone or piece of metal they assimilate into their being. At the roughly the size of a one-story house, they are smart enough to form coherent sentences on their own.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Titan Skeledroids can see in infrared, ultraviolet, the basic light spectrum, and even see wandering souls and loose magical energy.
