Metal

The next intended creature concept would be a sub species that instead of mutating like the insects, influenced their own change by cybernetic ally modifying themselves to survive the plants climate.

One design i was particularly enthused by was the idea of having the  abdomen area be nothing but a single extruded mechanical spinal column holding the torso aloft. This was to give them an unnaturally skeletal appearance, and also to make it unclear about how much of their bodies still remained original. The the cold violet grey colour of their metal gave them a slightly grim and lifeless atmosphere.
