The Goblin meka can match a giant or a troll in physical prowess. For the first time, this enabled the goblins of dreaming to destroy the creatures that had terrorized them for so long.
Reinforced with a special balm, the meka’s wood has a superior resistance that allows it to withstand blows from larger opponents and blasts of destruc- tive magic and some explosions.
A goblin operates the meka like an exoskeleton, using a simple arrangement of levers and pedals to control the arms and feet.
The movements aren’t graceful, but the simplicity behind the controls allows the rider to move the meka as if moving its own body.
Both arms are used as weapons during combat, the right arm being a mace capable of smashing most armors and the left a fist for melee fighting with a medium-sized rocket attached which the rider launches before moving in for hand to hand combat.
Unlike with other contraptions, the goblin rider
is expected to take enormous care of the meka and carry out constant maintenance, so that it is always in top condition.
The riders are known to paint their meka with the blood of their foes and give them special nick- names that they scream when they launch into combat.
This meka was created to deal with the dangerous trolls that inhabit the canyons of the wastelands. Because of the trolls’ supernatural ability to regen- erate, the goblins needed a weapon to cancel out the regeneration in little time so they could defeat them. Even pieces of flesh scattered by explosions would heal, so fire was deemed as the best solution.
