![]() Then I'd think they'd be more of a gooey metal type being that can solidify (and evidently, liquefy) at will. if theyĬan melt and shape metal like it’s freaking putty or something I don't think I've ever thought of the Lanius as clunky metal. If I were made of clunky metal that scraped against itself, I’d go slow too! Lanius takes its name from the latin word for butcher (uh.), lanius, whose plural is lanii I've always thought of it as Lanius or Laniuses, but that might actually be the right plural. the more doors you break down, the less total oxygen there is, making enemies flee and letting the Lanius break down whatever systems in that area without interference. breaking down enemy doors leaves them open, and therefore also open up oxygen for the Lanius to absorb. my favorite thing to do with them happens if the enemy has level 2 doors. I would hope it doesn't actually drain oxygen from the room, but that's not a dealbreaker.ĮditEdit: In case you're wondering why my flair is a Crystal, it's just for the purposes of a pun with my name (Chrystalaf?) but otherwise, it would sure as heck be a Lanius! I might occasionally change it to one, probably. They might trade tips on what the best substances are for maintaining a shiny metal coat, or just pal around cursing electromagnets.Įdit: I would totally buy a Lanius plush if it existed, as I realised after reading that one DirtyTabs comic about it. ~I have a slight headcanon that Lanius often become buddies with Engies cause they’re both metal-people. ~They can melt and shape metal like it’s freaking putty or something! If they weren’t so reclusive and feared, they’d make a killing working alongside brilliant designers and metalsmiths, creating new products and inventions. ~~Also, the noises they make are wonderful! Sound like something from an old Pac-Man era arcade game ~They’re just big adorable metal teddy bears who want to be friends with the Federation! In one event, they literally WAVE WHITE FLAGS to surrender!! It’s so touching I can never bring myself to say no to them. *Move 20% slower -> I can’t hold this against the Lanius! If I were made of clunky metal that scraped against itself, I’d go slow too! They’re faster than the Rockmen and that’s good enough for me! >Also, the wonder that is Lanius boarding parties! The Shrike is fun for this cause you can have a Mind Controlled enemy wreaking havoc elsewhere in the ship, meanwhile your two Lanii are draining all the oxygen from the Shield room and wrecking it. Plus, they can fix hull breaches and fight those annoying Boarding Drones without fear of O2 deprivation! I’m a particular fan of the Lanius ship A airless run, where you delete your Human at the start and collect Lanius along the way if you can. >As everyone probably already knows, this can be super helpful! Being able to de-oxygenate an entire section of the ship and let your Lanius walk around in there, dooming any misfortunate boarders to an early demise…. ![]() *Drain Oxygen from rooms they occupy/No damage from lack of oxygen This might turn into more or less a rant, but I LOVE the Lanius as a race. ![]()
