Iron Hands (5e Race)

Iron Hands

Physical Description

An Iron Hands Source

Iron Hands are large, bulky cyborg Pokémon that looks like a futuristic sumo wrestler. The head crest is a deep blue with ten black lines connecting across it. The head is light grey with cylinder-like ears. The two eyes are yellow within a black faceplate. The upper half of their body is colored light gray resembling a light armor gear with two bright yellow holes with white spots on each side of where the shoulder would be. Also connected to it is a grey belt with three yellow square armor-like pieces on each side with white spots as well. The lower half is grey with several black line markings. The half-sphere legs are colored dark blue which are connected to small yellow rectangles with white spots. The black feet are shaped like shoes with one small, yellow rectangle with white spots connected to each foot. They have two giant, three-fingered hands. The back side of their hands is light grey with a yellow circle in the center with three white spots each. The front is four large, bright yellow rectangles connected and black lines. The rectangles also have several white spots as well.

Although they are colored similarly to Hariyama, some eyewitnesses have claimed to see Iron Hands that are completely gray.

History

Next to nothing is known about these bizarre futuristic constructs. They were first seen in the Paldea region, specifically throughout the various levels of Area Zero crater. The only known documentation about these creatures comes from the "Violet Book", which was authored by a man named Heath who traveled down into Area Zero with a survey team, and a tabloid magazine known as "Occulture" mentioned them in an article, claiming that they were once athletes who became mortally wounded but were kept alive by being made into a cyborg. While it would turn out that these creatures were supposedly being brought from the future to the present thanks to a mysterious machine made out of tera crystals, their true origins remain a mystery.

Society

Although they behave much like Hariyama they appear to be based on and are always looking for a fight, these constructs don't seem to have much of a society or culture to speak of.

Iron Hands Names

Iron Hands typically do not have names, but those who have been brought to the surface may adopt one. If they do, it's typically Common.
