Guardian Biont

Guardian Bionts, better known as Spheres or Balls were the prevailing form of active being, encountered by the Derwent Group in the Antediluvian ruin on the world of Verde. Used to protect the facility from intruders, those cyborg beings seemed to appear from the walls at any given time to attack intruders. One of them was converted by Luther Redgaze, by dread alchemy into a servitor automaton for him, during his stay in the ruin.

Appearance and Behaviour
Guardian Bionts were strange things, seemingly automatons in nature, that appeared at first glance as floating white orbs around a meter and fourty centimeters in diameter, with perfectly smooth surfaces that could unfold arms from their undersides to deploy various weapons-such as toxic whips and spike launchers. Inside said sphere, however is situated a strange, reddish creature, suspended in a mysterious liquid. This creature resembles a human embryo, while also bearing some animal features and is the size of a large five month-old human infant. It appears that this creature, compulsed by strange electrical waves is what actually controls the outside armored shell and weaponry.

Hence the name, those constructs serve only to destroy intruders into Antediluvian facilities, being directed finely by more complex service bionts, which oversee the defense of the facility, such as The Watch. When not under command, they act in a simpler way, still trying to defend their facility. It is observed that they seem to employ better tactics, when in larger numbers.
