Among the largest machine life forms, the towering Engels units are mobile weapons of mass destruction. Armies flee in terror from the sight of these mechanical titans, whose arsenal of integrated weapons can lay waste to even the most heavily fortified castle. Industrial Devastation. An Engels has a pair of enormous grinding wheels where its hands should be. When these mighty wheels spin, they can smash through the thickest fortress walls in a single blow and tear great gouges into the side of a hill. Sages who have witnessed the towering constructs in action believe that smaller machine lifeforms follow in an Engels's wake, scooping up the rubble left by its rampage to use as raw materials. Walking Arsenal. Weaponized fists are not all an Engels can bring to bear. If enemies try to stay out of its murderous reach, the machine can fire a deadly laser from its face and launch swarms of missiles from the silos on its back. Such armaments make an Engels lethal at any range, and it can cut a swathe through any force that might stand against it. Ponderous Behemoth. Every step of an Engels's feet shakes the ground, and the vibrations can be felt for miles. The sheer mass of it is one of its greatest strengths, but also one of its greatest weaknesses: if an enemy manages to knock an Engels down, it will be hard-pressed to right itself and stand back up. |
