      Not really by definition (the dictionary definition is just 'robot with human form')

          I genuinely can't tell how much of their design is intentionally offputting as part of showing what a weird lunatic Sechenev is and how much is the artists being horny. Like is the scene where

          spoiler and CW for violence? and quasi-sexual imagery

          one of them sprouts a unicorn horn from her forehead and proceeds to penetrate and mock-gut the other with it as part of a ritual to unfold the keys required to get a soul-stealing monster out of a casket

          supposed to be extremely creepy and bizarre, or was the artist getting off to it?
