Homebrew Terminator Species Details

Terminators are synthetic humanoids, robots, which bear a great resemblance to human skeletons. With high quality steel bodies, and bright red eyes, they are a terrifying sight to behold, at least, for those without flesh. Some terminators, through farming and harvesting of human bodies, are granted a sheath of real human flesh. Some higher tech versions are instead made of liquid metal, capable of adapting and shapeshifting in horrifying fashion.
