Claymen are an artificial species. Servants made of clay to do as instructed by the Pigmask Army, they appear to have a humanoid shape, with a large, rectangular body and large, 3-fingered hands. Their legs are considerably small for their size, making them generally slow creatures, and they have a pink antennae-like bulb on the top of their heads, which presumably acts as the controlled component of the Clayman. Powered by Lightning. Claymen come to life via being zapped with electricity. This would normally be illogical, due to clay being a non-conductive material, but the mysterious bulb could possibly be a highly conductive wire that courses throughout the Clayman. When an active Clayman is zapped once again, it will be re-energized, capable of running at incredible speeds. They appear to make strange moans to attempt to communicate with others. Claymen are docile in nature, and will only attack if it is either malfunctioning or otherwise commanded to. |
