Carefully avoiding naming names, so this description may be a bit stilted.]Originally built for the soul-forges of some forgotten hell, these engines of torture and pain are themselves living organisms. Fashioned from an arcane and unholy fusion of flesh and machine, they are serve as laboratory assistants and mobile worktable. They can be found in the operating theaters of numerous infernal realms, and are sometime granted to certain favored practioners of the dark arts on the material plane. They appear as large conglomerations of mechanical and organic parts: living arms grasping ragged-edged cutting tools; cruel restraints; vats of foul-smelling chemicals; naked eyes mounted on long, iron booms. They are sentient, intelligent, skilled in many pratical arts, and delight in their work.</blockquote>
