Iron Devil

Before he was imprisoned beneath the earth, the god Loki passed the fiercest of his followers through a fire, burning each down to a single, ever-hot cinder of purest hate and resentment. He implanted the cinders in iron shells, with the horned helms of the most fearsome raiders and stout construction resembling kegs of the heartiest ale. Each stares its hate at the world with a single, unblinking eye. He set them sentinels over buried ships and treasures, to mercilessly destroy any plunderer with their beams of divine fire.
The Iron Devils are widely considered Loki’s greatest achievement or greatest failure: a race of monster with absolutely no sense of humor.
I was shocked – shocked – to find no Dalek “I see what you did there” captions in easy Googling reach.
I found this though so it wasn’t an entirely wasted hour.
I’m… also shocked.
Excuse me while I spend three minutes using an art program…
(And while we’re waiting, hate-filled largely artificial beings ae indeed awesome in other genres.)
There we go.
