Galvanoid

This hulking humanoid is a powerful, artificial life form. It can consume all manner of foods, turning nutrients into a form of strange energy that keeps it animated. This creature doesn't truly die until completely destroyed, but it's vulnerable to electricity, which overloads and burns out its artificial vein system.

== Fanon Tactics ==
The Galvanoid is monstrously strong at ST 30, but can be defeated with high-voltage attacks and cuts to the limbs. If it loses a limb, it'll be much less dangerous with its powerful punches. Furthermore, galvanoids don't have a natural habit of eating humans, so they're not exactly evil or predatory by default. It's entirely possible that a galvanoid, just as its Shellyian origin might imply, is simply misunderstood. It may be best to use social skills like Diplomacy or Psychology in this case.

== Trivia ==
* Galvanoid comes from the term galvanize, the process of coating steel or iron with zinc, protecting it from corrosion. In a sense, the galvanoid is chemically protected from metabolic hazards.
