Ironclads

Ironclads are bio-engineered lifeforms used by the Gods. They are hulking, heavily armored variants of the regular Hounds, almost three times the size and covered in thick natural armour plating.

History
Ironclads were seen at the very start of the Human-God War, however in far fewer numbers than in later stages of the war.

They were originally used as siege breakers, which are still a role they played later in the war, however they have come to fill a variety of roles such as protecting Hounds and taking on Vehicles.

Notable Encounters

 * Retaking of Apathea - They were used to great effect against the Winston Land Fortresses deployed at the start of the retaking. Successfully aiding in the destruction of three Winston's including Captain Elizabeth Kandy's Dragon's Maw Winston.

Bio-Engineered Monsters
Ironclads appear to be a genetic variant of the traditional Hound. However they tower over Hounds, covered across the front, top and sides in thick armour plating.

After extensive study, NIA and CMC scientists determined that Ironclads are almost identical genetically to Hounds. However they posses a few minor alterations which are theorized to be from a species native to the Andromeda Galaxy.
