fun horror feature for a monster in my setting:
so basically, this monster is the product of an AI getting very heavily corrupted by a certain outside source (remember PROMETHEUS? yeah, still around, not powerful enough to Do Big Shit at the moment but fucks things up for everyone else regardless)
they're sorta like... mechanical zombies, almost.
anyway, they're typically encountered in space, places like big asteroids that got halfway mined out and then mysteriously abandoned. typically places where there's no atmosphere.
but they still scream.
how, you ask? basically, they send out highly dense signals on a bunch of shorter wavelengths typically used for local communications. if you've got a comms system and are within around 10 meters you're going to hear it, and it's kinda deafening, so either you push through the pain of that or you just go without comms while fighting it
