Buff Manky

The Buff Manky is a subspecies of the Manky, created specifically as a frontline infantry variant. One of the most recognizable faces in the Manky Collective's armies, the Buff Manky is bred solely for combat, and the subspecies revels in fighting and bloodshed.

Buff Mankies cast aside regular firearms in favor of their sheer physical might, as Buff Mankies are also one of the strongest Manky subspecies that the Collective fields, only falling short in comparison to the massive Big Manky.

The Buff Manky is considered a high-priority target in ground engagements, often responsible for wiping out entire squads in it's own right if it is not taken down quickly.

The Buff Mankies are commanded by Shadow-of-Looming-Tag-Team and Shadow-of-Imminent-Fisting.

Anatomy & physiology
The Buff Manky, though significantly more imposing than it's normal Manky brethren, possesses much the same biological makeup and features as it's progenitor species. It's head appears to be roughly identical in structure to the default Manky, with a spherical blob housing the Manky's trademar sensor-noodle, as well as other sensory organs such as the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.

Buff Mankies have a wide, muscular frame, with well-defined pectoral muscles and a six-pack. Their arms are almost disproportionately large, ending in even more disproportionally oversized hands. Their arms reach down to their comically small legs, which appear biologically unchanged from the default Manky's legs.

The Buff Manky is exceptionally durable, capable of withstanding upwards of thirty to forty shots from conventional firearm-type weapons. This durability also makes it an exceptionally powerful demolitions unit, as the Buff Manky regularly uses it's strength in conjunction with said durability, often seen crashing or punching through walls, doors, and hapless victims.

Despite it's general physical superiority, the Buff Manky is consumed by rage and bloodlust, and is rendered intellectually inferior to it's many fellow Manky subspecies as a result.

History
The Buff Manky was created by Scrungus during his experiments with Memesmith genetic technology. Created solely with the idea of a hard-hitting frontline combat unit in mind, the Buff Manky was one of the first Manky subspecies to meet finalization.

When Scrungus discovered Spicoceles, the old Memesmith decided to help out his new friend, and used what little resources he had available to complete the genetic blueprints of a single Manky from each subspecies. This inadvertently created the Manky Warlords, and they soon organized a rebellion against Scrungus, driving him and Spicoceles to the fringes of the galaxy.

Buff Mankies were then commonly fielded in ground assaults once the Manky Collective began invading neighboring empires and territory.
