Theory: The Techno-Fiend is more intelligent (for an alien) than it appears to be
Time for me to begin talking and making conclusions about a small detail I noticed :p
So we all know about the beginning of episode 2 where Chestnut is trying to revive Grix all while a techno-fiend is slaughtering the psycho-warriors before attempting to go for Chestnut, but what if I told you that the techno-fiend is more intelligent (for an alien) than appears to be?
Let’s start with the simple act of it noticing Chestnut. At first, it comes off as it slaughtering anything it sees, with Chestnut being the unlucky fellow to attract its attention. Simple alien mindset, but wait, there’s more! You see, when it begins running towards him, it seems to be locked onto him only, with it quickly killing the psycho-warriors nearby as an aside compared to it’s more focused way of killing earlier. And as mentioned before, Chestnut was noticed by it, but it’s body language indicates it wasn’t just an “anything I see must be killed instinct”, it knew that Chestnut is capable of reviving psycho-warriors, and thus this means that it must kill him in order to prevent the psycho-warriors from coming back to the fray to try to kill it again, hence why it appears strictly focused on his location when it was charging at him.
And let me also mention the globules on its body. I feel like the only possible explanation on how it could know that medicaes are a threat because of their capabilities to revive others is that the globules it likely merged into its body came from its previous victims, and with the information stored onto them, it’s possible that it also knows what various legions of psycho-warriors are like from said information, including medicaes depending whether or not one of the globules belongs to a medicae it killed.
But hey, at the end of the day, it’s just a lot of analysis I put into an alien who only has a bit of screentime before being done justice by the holy Hate-Mace, so who knows if I’m wrong or not lol
Feel free to add onto my explanation or provide your own outlook in the comments!
