galgal

A troika of monstrous, gleaming wheels orbit a center sphere of xenon clouds and gallium lightning. The spokes are laminated crysteel bled of their emerald imperfections, and the rims are milky epithelium -- a single iris stretched to the topology of a torus -- and checkered on the underside with pupils. Its movement traces the carpentry of worlds.

Perfect

Galgallim are fast, dangerous biomechanoids that inhabit the Palladium Reef. They possess a charging attack which can inflict the dazed status and a powerful energy weapon, the naser cannon, which can ground flying creatures, making them vulnerable to its charge. The naser cannon can also inflict normality, disabling many reality-distorting devices, such as small sphere of negative weight, which can leave a character overburdened and unable to move.

Prior to charging, galgallim will display a visual path indicator similar to the wrecking charge of a rhinox that foreshadows the direction they will charge. However, due to the galgal's significantly heightened Quickness, the player may not have a chance to react before the charge occurs.

Beware

Whether it is intended behavior or not, you may be instantly killed by a Galgal's charge attack. It is not recommended to engage one unless you have recently saved your game, or you are prepared to lose your character. Once it has knocked you down with its charge attack, it will rapidly use the attack again and again, dealing intense damage and refreshing the knocked down effect. Even level 40+ characters with Zetachrome armor and 250+ hit points may die without recourse after being hit once by this attack.

Lore

The galgallim are referred to in In Maqqom Yd. The author suggests that the palladium lattice that lies atop the Palladium Reef was once a "gigantic infrastructure network" for the Eaters, and that the galgallim helped in the construction of this network. The author also describes a face-to-face encounter with a galgal towards the end of the book:

... Here I took a moment to squeeze the bright nectar into a phial, and when I once again looked up, I was met with the ageless stare of a galgal. Nothing had prepared me for it. My mind labored to make sense of what it was seeing: gleaming wheels whipped about a hypnotic core, the spokes' prisms pulled apart the light of the High Salt Sun, and across the stretched sheet of iris, many eyes stared.
