Generic minor biomechanoid
(Serious Sam)
Context
Serious Sam is a series of silly, old-school video games about shooting all the things with all the guns all the time. The first game was published in 2001. It involves an alien invasion, total war, time travel — and guns. Which you shoot at things.
Minor mechanoids are shooty video game monsters. But it is important that we do not judge them based on that, and that we keep our hearts and minds open.

Powers & Abilities
These biomechanoids are chiefly mobile weapon platforms. They are equipped with two energy cannons, which they instinctively aim and fire.
These weapons are presented as lasers, but the energy pulses have a readily observable travel time. They might in fact be about as fast as a real-world arrow. So they’re likely blaster cannons.
History
Biomechanoids are grown in Mental’s biological tanks. Part of their organism grows into mechanical parts, making them cyborgs. Their body includes two lateral slots where mass-produced energy cannons can be plugged right into their nervous systems.
Description
A biomechanoid is 15′ tall.
They are described as “endothermous”, which I suppose means that they are warm-blooded. Or maybe they have an internal generator. Or both. Who knows.
Biomechanoids have a definite avian countenance, as I always say. I’m kinda famous for that.
Personality
These creatures seem to be on the level of a daft but extremely aggressive guard dog, though of course it’s hard to say. They will fire angry bursts of angry energy pulses at the least provocation.
