• Description

  " I am a hard being now, no longer flesh and bone, but rather lava and stone. Armor plating fused to my rocky dermis, quadrupedal and articulated, my insectoid body stands high above the gravel below. What am I to this terrain, now that I am its titular makeup? A molten core housed in a rocky crust — but at least I can move.
  Too many views assail me now, all at differing angles and of oscillating quality. One of the many eyes on my head seldom remains perceiving for more than a minute, sans the largest of which that remains steadfast aimed in the direction which I point my igneous prosoma. I could see at the cost of my sanity, observe the world as this jagged being. Is this really me?
  I could remember, finally, the particularly useful aspect of my species. Standing tall on my four feet, my mandibles exhaled in a hostile hiss as the large, metallic tube was aimed fore. It was warm now, the barrel on my back radiated an earthly heat from within as it primed. Surely this was my purpose.
  The mystery faced me now. How could I ever have forgotten the glory of firing my cannon? A wobbling boulder of magma and rock spun through the air, radially spewing small, glowing bits of material as it traveled far from the summit."

  A large, odd being of stone, trodding on four trunk-like legs. Is bulbous head, drooping by a long neck from slacked shoulders, is dotted haphazardly with glowing, gem-like eyes. The dust that naturally appears on its body is brown, but the sleek, metallic body underneath is a grey metallic material. There's a large cannon atop its back, from which it fires the rocks that it has eaten.
