A Graftek was a creature that was only found in the strata below the now-defunct Trembling Dunes. Rather than attacking creatures it was hostile to, a Graftek would seek out creatures around it to graft, giving them various stat bonuses depending on the graft.
A Graftek would actively target other creatures on the map and would apply a graft to them when they were adjacent. It would apply grafts indiscriminately, whether the target was hostile, neutral, friendly, or even a companion to the player. It would continue to do so until it had grafted every creature in the current zone that it was able to reach/was graftable; when it ran out of eligible targets, it began to wander around randomly.[1]
A Graftek couldn't graft creatures that had already been grafted. Additionally, it couldn't graft inanimate objects, metallic creatures, inorganic creatures, or other Grafteks.[2]
Grafts
A Graftek was able to apply three different grafts to creatures: grafted, cyberized, and chromed. Creatures that were grafted became metallicized, had their default color permanently changed depending on the graft, and had the name of the graft appended to their name.[3]
Grafted
| + 6-12 Hitpoints |
| + 4-6 Strength |
| + 4-6 Toughness |
Cyberized
| + 6-12 Hitpoints |
| + 4-6 Agility |
| + 4-8 DV |
Chromed
| + 6-12 Hitpoints |
| + 2-4 AV |
| + 50-75 Heat Resistance |
| + 50-75 Cold Resistance |
Player Grafting
Normally, a Graftek would not seek out the player and wouldn't apply a graft if they moved close, even if they were friendly to robots. However, it would apply a graft to the player's body so long as they were not in control of it, such as when the player is dominating another creature. This could even have been achieved by using a 
ganglionic teleprojector on the Graftek itself; however, the player would have had difficulty controlling it, as it moved around erratically even while being dominated.
Since grafts are permanent and cannot be removed, and only one graft could have been present on a creature at a time, incautious players could have ended up with grafts that they did not want. There are also several drawbacks to a metallic body: 
pulsed field magnets became more of a concern for grafted players, and such players could have been pulsed by EMP effects, although this has never had an effect.
