Construct

From Girl Genius

Constructs are the living creations of Mad Science.

They fall into several general categories, usefully analyzed and described by Karrion of the GG Yahoo Group:

Olga, sort of

Type I: Revives - dead, brought back to life. I guess we can't punish Victor for bringing Sparky back from the dead.

Examples: The shell of Madame Olga may qualify; Zulenna Luzhakna may or may not have been successfully revived.

Baron Klaus

Type II: Patch jobs - dead, repaired with spare parts, brought back to life. They'll fix you. They fix everything.

Examples: Baron Klaus Wulfenbach

Type III: Frankensteins - built from parts of dead, brought to life. LIFE! DO YOU HEAR ME? GIVE MY CREATION... LIFE!

Examples: Punch and Judy

Boris

Type IV: Freaks - never dead, parts surgically added. Smithers, fetch some surgical tools... and some ether...

Examples: Boris Dolokhov

Type V: Hydes - altered by some process: Here, drink this.

Examples: the Jägerkin

Krosp

Type VI: Anthros - animal forms with human level (not that THAT means much) brain power. We are men because the Father has made us men!

Examples: Krosp I

Type VII: Scratchbuilds - new, never-before-seen forms of life.

Examples: Zoing (possibly); most of the monsters of Sturmhalten's sewers

Type VIII: Sideshows - not much different. Extra large or small; minor alterations such as added horns or abnormal color, i.e. unicorns or pink cats. One of us! Gooble gobble, gooble gobble! One of us! One of us!

Examples: Mimmoths, Lapinemoths, the Monster Horse Beastie

Weasel

Type IX: Borgs - clank-construct combos. We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better...stronger...faster.

Examples: Wasp weasels, Snapper Boikov, this guy (bottom center)

Type X: Hybrids - construct falling into more than one basic category, i.e. type IV/VI.

Examples: Klaus may instead be a type II/III; the wasp weasels may be VIII/IX.

Type XI: WTF - catchall for every thing that DOESN'T fit any category.

Examples: Not known, but Von Pinn, the Hoomhoffers, the Lackya, and the slaver wasps are not conclusively categorized.

Of course, some of these categories are subject to speculation. Keep an eye on Category:Constructs and the inhabitants thereof.
