In the decaying underbelly of Fortuna City, where neon light flickers against rusted metal and biotech corruption seeps into the bones of every street, survival is a matter of reflex—and fear. Today, we’re unveiling two of the most twisted abominations you’ll encounter in Memento Machinam: Cyborg Hog and Rat Ka-Boom.
🐗 Cyborg Hog – The Enforcer of Filth
Part war machine, part grotesque biology, Cyborg Hog is a brutal hybrid designed to tear through resistance with raw muscle and cold steel. Once a common scavenger in the city's toxic slums, it was captured and re-engineered by the Overlords of Sector 9. Its reinforced spine and cybernetic hindlegs allow for short, devastating charges, while its armored faceplate and tusks make frontal assaults nearly suicidal. The glowing red visor? That’s not for show—it’s linked to a primitive AI designed to detect panic and movement. If you hear its growl, you might already be too late.

🐀 Rat Ka-Boom – The Crawling Catastrophe
What do you get when you fuse a plague-ridden sewer rat with military-grade explosives and a corrupted targeting protocol? You get Rat Ka-Boom—a fast, unpredictable suicide unit that scurries along walls and ceilings, looking for heat signatures to detonate next to. It moves with terrifying speed on its multi-legged frame, and its unblinking, red eye tracks victims like prey. The moment its explosive core locks onto a warm body, it releases a shriek—and then all hell breaks loose. One is trouble. A swarm is death.
-
Role: Kamikaze disruptor
-
Weakness: Core can be disabled with EMP or precise shot
-
Tactic: Spot early, eliminate quick
Why These Monsters Matter
Both of these biomechanical monstrosities embody the themes at the heart of Memento Machinam: the grotesque fusion of life and machine, the breakdown of moral boundaries, and the price of unchecked power. These aren’t just enemies—they are environmental storytelling devices, crafted to immerse players in a world where even nature has been corrupted by the will to dominate.
Stay tuned as we reveal more twisted denizens of Fortuna City.
