Description

An idea I have of a monster that will surely appear in my comic project...

In my comic, there will be a major player known as the Alchemists' Society of Almania (Almania is the name of the continent). They are basically a major pseudoscience-based religion, with strict, almost cult-like guidelines and initiation processses (with 118 ranks of promotion, from Minor Recruit to High Leader Poirot).

One thing they do (this is important to the stroy) is create Homuculuses. These beasts and freaks of nature are mere bundles of organic matter and flesh, bound together and anchored by a single Soul*

This is one example of a Homunculus, a very rare and powerful type known as the Argus (why? Becuz of dem eyes). It stands at an average height of 8 feet and weighs usually around 160 lbs. It is nearly always employed as a guard (just like the actual Argus), following its clients silently and swiftly as to avoid detection by anyone (even its own client). Its strengths are, in short:

1. It has no blind spots (nearly)
2. It is EXTREMELY agile (to the point it can kill you before you realise it is there)
3. It is extremely hard to kill (well duh)
4. It has extreme skill with its scythe, due to every one of its eyes exponentially increasing its focus.

However, all of these strengths can be offset by its one weakness:

1. In order to support all of that focusing and seeing and looking, it has an enormous brain.

Of course, the Argus itself knows this and will fend off any attacks to its cranium with all speed. But, get in even one good blow on the Argus' noggin and it will overload its nervous receptors; causing it to greatly lose battle efficiency for a long time (this will of course allow you to get more hits in to its head). So managing to hit it even once on the head means the Argus is history.

It's also wearing traditional Korean sandals.

(c) to me, 1-13-13.

Also, I might make the color of its skin a little less bright and more of a dull-grayish purple. I don't know. :P

*Souls are elf like creatures that inhabit the world of Almania. They are leusive to humans and hard to even detect, much less capture. They do not seem to need air, food, water, space, or even time to survive, and thier purpose in the biological food chain is unknown. However, some Almanians will form bonds with Souls, very few even have them as companions and are able to communicate with them.
