Siilo

Towering at over 4 metres, the Siilos (IAUSI: SII0SO111953212-H) are giant behemoths; organic tanks, as they are often called. Naturally, they are unintelligent, only having reached the Bronze Age on their homeworld despite having been in existence for longer than humans. However, joining the Hierarchy have given them access to highly advanced technology, which they use to devastating effect. On the battlefield, they don heavy armor with energy shielding, a shoulder mounted cannon, a giant mace in one hand, and a rapid-fire blaster attached to the other. Some Siilos are also equipped with giant metal shields. Siilos are used exclusively as heavy ground troops and are deployed in large scale confrontations.
==History==
The Siilos did not record history, and nothing is known of them before the Hierarchy came. When the Hierarchy appeared on the Siilo homeworld, they saw great potential in the giant species, and tried various ways to gain their loyalty. In the end, they discovered that the species was highly primitive, and only wanted good food, rest, and shelter, although they did take a liking to the Hierarchy's advanced technology. The Siilos were easily taken into the Hierarchy, and have been used as shock troops ever since.
==Physiology==
The Siilos had a slightly humanoid appearance, though they were much wider in proportion. They possess extremely thick skin reinforced with a layer of fat, powerful muscles, and extremely durable bones. Their physical strength is astonishing even for their size.
==Society==
The Siilos do not have much traditions or culture, as they are very primitive. They are a simple species of hunter-gatherers who lived in small tribes. The tribes rarely waged war on each other, as the Siilos did not lust for power or domination; all they want is food and shelter.
==Trivia==
*The Siilos' role in the Hierarchy are based off of Hunters from the Halo franchise, but their appearance is based on trolls from The Lord of the Rings.
*Even with their troll-like appearance, they should not be confused with actual trolls, which are non-sentient and slightly smaller than a Siilo.
