Abyssal Siegecrawlers were a subspecies of insect-like Demons created by Syverr and used as mobile artillery platforms by the Demonic forces in the Seeds of Madness Alternate Universe.
History[]
Origins[]
During the First Era of Peace, Syverr and his scientists began perfecting new breeds of Demons, including the massive Abyssal Juggernauts, and the disciplined Abyssal Knights. During this time, the first Abyssal Siegecrawlers were created, each Siegecrawler possessing a large, cannon-like device at the tip of their tails.
The Shadow War[]
During the Shadow War, Syverr discovered that the Obsidian Obelisk Nocturnus had been entombed in during the First Abyssal Invasion could be broken if, when the Avatars were sufficiently weakened, the Obelisk was hit with a concentrated blast of Shadow energy. At the end of the Shadow War, Syverr was able to free Nocturnus, and renew the battle against the Avatars. Abyssal Siegecrawlers were among the Demons committed to the assault.
The Second Abyssal Invasion[]
During the Second Abyssal Invasion, the Demons were able to steadily push back the Avatars' forces. However, after the initial battles, the Avatars were able to cut the Demonic off from the Abyss, preventing reinforcements from reaching the Abyssal lines, and the majority of the Abyssal Siegecrawlers were committed to the force that attempted to open a second portal. Ultimately, the attack was defeated, and Nocturnus gathered his remaining forces for a final attack on the Avatars. As the Demons closed in on the last pockets of resistance, the Avatars of Life and Death combined their life forces to trap the Demonic armies in a pocket dimension, with only Xithax and a few other Demons escaping.
Abilities and Traits[]
Abyssal Siegecrawlers were fairly cowardly when facing opponents that outmatched them by any significant amount or outnumbered them. However, they were much more vicious and aggressive when facing opponents that were smaller and weaker then themselves, and were typically content to remain at the edges of combat and provide fire support.
Each Abyssal Siegecrawler possessed a cannon-like weapon on their tails which enabled them to fire powerful blasts of fire and magma, known as Infernoblasts, at extremely long ranges. These blasts were very powerful, and easily capable of overwhelming a Toa of Fire's natural resistance to heat. Aside from these blasts, however, a Siegecrawler was rather defenseless, relying on their large bladed forearms in melee.
Social Structure and Interactions[]
Abyssal Siegecrawlers were fairly intelligent, being smarter than most Rahi, but not nearly as intelligent as a Matoran. Siegecrawlers were used as weapons platforms by Demonic forces. Siegecrawlers were valued weapons in Nocturnus' army, and were typically kept behind the front lines.
