The Mechania

It is without a doubt that the Mechania began as some mad Gearsmith's idea of an experiment. How they advanced to their current state of cunning and malevolence, however, remains a mystery. Did the breaking of the world corrupt them? Were they deliberately manufactured this way? No one knows, and the Mechania - though capable of speech - are unwilling to reveal their origin... if they even know, themselves.

The unique widgetry that drives Mechania 'toks imbues them with a great deal more intelligence and cunning than a typical automatok. In this, they are a brilliant (but twisted) piece of art. But the fatal flaw in their design is twofold - first, in that they have a seemingly unlimited hatred for the "squishies" (non-'tok entities), and second, their need to progenerate, and the facility with which they do so.
