risi refur klífa

Pouncing over the large, downed trees and brush in thick snow this vehicle is the best for snowy climates in Fjalla. Forged by The Fennec Forgers of Humanity, also known as the FFH, these large foxen robots help transport goods to isolated tundra towns.  Taking in high volumes of goods and materials they are commonly assaulted in attempts of robbery. The Risi Refur Klifa is known by its generic name Risfura, translating to the giant foxen. This contraption stands at about 9 feet tall, riders mounted atop it's back with safety belts included, pilots at the front atop it's head, and cargo is stored in its main body. The vehicle is modeled after a large arctic fox, they took fine notes of how the fox's paws worked against the snow to help with its speed.

Power Generation

There are two forms of power generations for these vehicles. The first being combustion magic stored within a chamber of the body functioning almost as a heart, a small explosion is fired off every two seconds which can be heard slightly outside of the chamber. The other method is a simple rod of magic storing at the helm of the head functioning similarly to the fathomed Spell Jammers. The storage rod is made of a high-grade alloy called Anveloct; a composite from Anvectran known for its strong resistance to damage, and Eloctem which conducts magic and is used in the manufacturing of many magical items in the area.

Propulsion

It is propelled by the energy in the helm with a series of wires and tubes that expand and shrink to cause the joints to move, the "heart" also allows this to occur and off sets the amount of magic needed to propel the vehicle. you can run with only one active but it is slow and takes a lot of energy.

Weapons & Armament

It is not kitted for military use but is easily able to be changed to that, with its large cargo area being hallow many weapons could be forged and stored inside. In times of attack on them the pilots often try to trample the bandits with the fox's large paws or hit them with the mussel or tail. One armed guard is always aboard and can also help in this time.

Armor and defense

The crafts AC is a 22, being constructed of such high metal and very few soft parts it is very durable. The simplest way in is via a hatch on top of the head or body, there is also a cargo hatch on the side of it but that door is locked until the body is powered down in a laying position.

This screams to me “Spell Jammers meets Zords”. I love the non-chalance of the Weapons & Armament section basically going “yeah, the cargo can hold weapons but this is a giant vulpine robot. We'll go beast mode on you... but also foxes are not wolves or panthers so this isn't a military vehicle.” It knows what it is and it's not afraid of that.
