Enemy Specs

Model: Type Iα-I004
Production Type: Mass-production
Primary Use: Industrial

Era of Manufacture: A mechanical organism created with highly-concentrated Punishing Virus. This creature exhibits clear symptoms of Punishing infection, and its senses are poor.

Intelligence Level: Possesses moderate- to low-level intelligence. Designed to assist humans with their daily workload.

Profile 1: Its hydraulic system supports its body's movement functions and acts as its primary core of locomotion.

Profile 2: Its three legs move individually, and it can traverse most terrain. It has a minor ability to launch itself.

Profile 3: Its frontal structure contains a drill-like end-effector. It can use this to modify terrain to better facilitate physical labor.

Profile 4: Its base's grip is exceptionally strong as to ensure its anchoring to a space station while exposed to the vacuum of space.

Story 1: Its portable jacks can easily support heavy objects from a space station.
It is a direct representation of Huanyu's namesake ー humanity's desire to conquer the stars.

Story 2: After becoming a Corrupted, its circulating fluid became highly concentrated with the Punishing Virus. After the forceful takeover and subsequent restructuring of the hosting space station by the virus, its circulating fluid can frequently be seen spilling from its exposed orifices.

Moveset

• Thrust: Thrusts a part of its body forward at close range. This attack has two variants ー one using its front limbs, and the other using its head ー but both retain the same behavior.
• Pounce: Leaps towards its target and slams into the ground. This attack will display a range marker where the Hydraulic will land.
• Drill Field: Plunges its drill into the ground, causing a radial area around it to become volatile. Deals multiple low-damaging hits to player characters in its range. This attack will display a range marker prior to execution.
