Based off an RP, actually a robot that looks like a humanoid in a set of armour that looks like a hedgehog.

Once certainly something else more reptilian, this specific now robotic knight was twisted and altered away, with his body merely a building base. A fusion reactor, circuitry, battle-systems, all taking over his body. Servos and motors replacing joints, and forces instilling programming and code into his mind. Including how to correctly act around his superiors.

Bronze plating piled on and on till his armour is thick enough to withstand most impacts, quills of a copper colour allowing it to use them as a weapon in itself, while also allowing him to roll into a spiky ball of death. Gold decorations depicting forests, hedgehogs, or just ornate swirls carefully detailed onto it. It was bulked up massively from the former, feeble frame, digits on his hands bigger than some men’s hands. Two emerald “eyes” fitted in place, to at least give the impression that it still sees through them. Finally, once his armour is completed to satisfaction, a spiky shield and a short-sword larger than most long-swords.

Upon completion the now robotic hedgehog walks out of the forge and kneels before it’s king. It thinks it has free will, it thinks it can think for itself for it’s leader. However in reality it is all an illusion until the remaining bugs of being a former organic being leave it’s systems, becoming a perfect unquestioning battle drone.
