Machine lifeforms are constructs created by an unknown race from a distant world. Though crude and almost childlike in design, their simplistic appearance belies durability and strength. “Stubbies” are the smallest and most basic model of the machine lifeforms, so named because of their short legs which lack articulation. They cannot run and are forced to waddle or hop to get anywhere. Individually they pose little threat, but they can be dangerous in numbers or with the right equipment. Variant Equipment: Energy Gun The machine lifeform may equip itself with an energy cannon. It loses the ability to make its Tantrum attack and gains the following attack option.
