So, what am I going to do with this?
11-12-2011, 07:07 AM
There was a lottery over on the Daz forums today - the first 100 people to follow the rules got to pick a number between 1 and 100, and four of those numbers were connected to prizes. I picked the very last available number... and won http://www.daz3d.com/i/shop/itemdetails/?item=13039]this mechanical beastie.
(Yeah - I almost never win anything. I was just taking the number so the lottery winners could be announced. Go figure.)
I really should use it in a render, but I'm coming up blank. So... Who in Fenspace might use something like this, and against whom would it be used? Any ideas, anyone?

Boskonian Terror/assasination weapon, developed by R. Agatha for use against 'good' mads like R. Kohran and the like.

After loosing Quattro, going with something more replaceable and mass producible sounds right.

See, I was going to suggest it was a duct cleaner of some kind. But I'm practical like that.

It's got an awfully sharp point on the tail for a duct cleaner, though.

Pipe cleaner then. Perfect for whacking scale and hardened deposites in sewage systems.

Actually, it would make sense to use both Star Ranger's and Mal's ideas. "Oh, it's just another pipe clea-urk"

I was hoping someone would get the implied entrance of the ROUS to the scene.

I look at it, and the only thing I can think is "Artifact Creature – Snake", which doesn't really help, because that's what it obviously is.
EDIT: Screw Gatherer, anyhow.
