Talos

Talos are mechanical stonelike constructs created by the Titans to serve them. Unlike the titanframes, who were constructed to protect Genesis, talos served only their masters. When the Titans were defeated by the Eternals, gods, and other powerful beings during the Titan War, talos found themselves free to go about Creation as they saw fit. They can remove their masks and place them on other talos machines to operate them as their bodies. Talos seek these machines, lost throughout Creation, for their own individual plans and purposes.
