Golemech

ENCOUNTERED Venom CLASSIFICATION Stone sentry OFFENSIVE CAPABILITIES N/A DEFENSIVE CAPABILITIES Rocklike armor, lethal traps

INTEL Rumors of a construct on the surface of Venom have begun spreading among contacts in well-connected circles. Reports describe a stone colossus that appears, upon initial examination, to be a towering relic from a long-lost civilization.

However, this "Golemech" (as it's called) is not the piece of ancient statuary it appears to be. Further investigation has revealed it to be an invention of Dr. Andross's—one built and programmed to lure intruders into what is known as the "Temple of Andross." Inside this temple awaits an array of deadly traps embedded in the architecture.

Analysis suggests that the Golemech's rocklike body is actually thick armor intended primarily for defense and secondarily to obscure the construct's true nature as a mechanical automaton capable of moving at great speed.

ASSESSMENT The placement and density of the stone armor suggest sensitive machinery can be found underneath, on the construct's back and head. When in pursuit, maintain a safe distance; though the Golemech has no offensive weaponry of its own, all indications suggest the temple and the surrounding grounds are teeming with traps. It is thought that Golemech's great weight causes vibrations that activate these traps.

Ultimately, this construct appears programmed to lead pursuers to their doom.
