Tripods

Appearance TRIPODS: The Tripods are alien war machines being powered and driven by dark green black eyed slimy 1 legged aerodynamic triangle head shaped aliens. Both tripods are 100 FT but its height depends on its posture. It has long, fluid, bendy articulated flexy legs. It moves fluid, procedural and gracefully. It has a tapered aerodynamic triangle head/hood. It has no arms and no torso and just a baseplate which the neck is on, the 3 legs connect to the bottom of the baseplate. Both tripods have a white main optic and 2 small blue ones. It has Blue, purple, orange, and pink big triangle hoodlights that come on at night. The exterminator tripods have blue crescent moonshaped heatrays mounted on tendrils that can come out on the side beneath the hood at any time. While harvester tripods have 6 ventral bays/deployable hatches on the front of the baseplate that can lift up and deploy 6 tendrils with blue lights that drop down and can come out from the baseplate front at any time to grab people. HARVESTING: it puts them in 2 cages on the back under the hood, 7 seconds after, The uptop harvest door will open and a tendril grabs the caged person and puts them inside the tripod and then into a orange pool and when the blood drains from the victim in the digestive pool. The pool will turn red and 20 seconds after all that happens the harvester tripod will spray out the blood and red mist will form in the sky and on the ground of earth. Both tripods can make a disturbing deep-foghorn sound to alert each other (if it needs help or it sees a human or an animal). Both tripods have a STRONG unseen energy shield. Both tripods have spotlight/highbeams that come from the optics. Harvester tripods have one yellow and black probe tendril to search buildings but only when its crouching and shut off and motionless. Both tripods have 3 legged articulated, flexy, bendy feet. Both tripods go 8 MPH because they walk. Both tripods prioritize higher powered threats other than weak powered. They both sometimes idle to listen for movement. Both can see very far. Harvester tripods sometimes crouch down and shut off to either probe buildings or to let the aliens get out and roam earth. Both Tripods only activate their highbeams when in usually populated areas at night time. Both tripods only activate hoodlights at night so they don’t bump into eachother. It sometimes shuts off its engine and lights to catch prey offguard. Both tripods slowly get sick of bacteria which causes their shield to dissolve making them vulnerable and also causes it to act weird (struggling to move, flickering lights. Broken horn. Heatray not shooting). Both tripods have hatches under their main light which the aliens can come out of. Both tripods have bendy, and fluid 3 legged feet. Whenever they bloodspray the fans inside the Machine that sprays the blood out sound like.. well a fan along with a garden hose sound. Both tripods doesn’t always focus on the user and instead focuses others instead of chasing the same person and the user for a long time. Both tripods have a rare chance in moving in formation when in large areas. The aliens cannot speak so they use the tripod radios inside the tripods to communicate. Tripods use acidic green oil to operate. Sometimes tripods will look at a human but won’t notice them. Both tripods have small white and blue lights under the hood along with ring lights on the harvest door. When in places with no buildings (forest or just land) harvester tripods will drop their ventral bays down and retract their tendrils, exterminator tripods will out away their heatrays also. The aliens have planned this tripod invasion before human time but doesn’t know anything about sphere’s or circles. (Harvester tripods cannot see out the tendrils, Their tendrils have a stretch limit). Their engines (that are constantly playing) sound like washing machines mixed with a siren.aaaRRRUUUUUUHSCSCSCSCSCSCCRUCUGHADUHCUH…aaaRRRUUUUUHSCSCSCSCSCCCRUCGUCGHADUHCUH…AAARRRRRRUUUUUHHH… ÜBERPOD: Überpods are the 300 FT commander tripods. Überpods have a wider aerodynamic tapered triangle head/hood with no arms and no torso and just a neck and a baseplate which the neck is connected to. The legs are more articulated, flexy, and bendy. Its optics are 1 White main and 4 other small blue ones. The optics can emit highbeam searchlights. Überpods have orange triangle hoodlights on the side of the hood. Überpods have 8 ventral bays on the baseplate that can lift up and deploy 8 tendrils with blue lights. Überpods can reel out crescent moon shaped purple heatrays (hotter than the sun) attached to tendrils from the undersides of the hood. Überpods have 3 legged articulated, flexy, and bendy feet. Uberpods can deploy black poisonous smoke when a human is hiding in a building or its in a crowded city. Überpods sometimes stare at cities from a distant/far so it can prepare an invasion with tripods. Uberpods only deploy their tendrils to throw people or to throw vehicles.
