Talpaedan

Talpaedans are a humanoid armadillo-like species from Terraexcava, a planet in the Andromeda Galaxy.

Appearance
Talpaedans look like a cross between rodents and robots. Their heads look similar to a Greek Corinthian helmet. They have yellow hard armored skin, with various other body parts colored black and grey. Their arms contain jackhammer parts, which are also present on their hands and other places. They have a grey tail, four fingers and three toes.

Powers and Abilities
Talpaedans can move through solid earth and rock.

Talpaedans are heavily armored and have powerful, organic pneumatic drills built into their forearms, which they can use to create earthquakes, dig tunnels, pummel enemies and batter buildings, even mountains, down to rubble.

Talpaedans have a jackhammer punch, so when they throw just one punch at an enemy, it is like being hit a hundred times.

Talpaedans have incredible strength, being shown to throw large robots with ease.

Predator
Talpaedans' predatorial species are Slamworms, who resemble large worms and can also dig underground at a fast rate.

Etymology
Talpaedan is derived from Talpidae, which is a name for a family of mammals that includes moles and other subterranean animals.
