Just some concept doodles of ideas made with @mech-station in our musings about what might have happened with the Crystal Empire in the Fallout Equestria universe.
Personally
I really like our ideas for the Crystal Ghouls. Not flesh eating
zombies, their natural relation to crystals instead causing an
overgrowth of the crystallic texture as it absorbed the radioactive
balefire, creating these absentminded undead who’ll just wander about
mindlessly with the occasional repeated phrase such as ‘lovely weather
today…’ still stuck in the moment before their death.
They are
not aggressive, but the overcharging of their crystal structure makes
them unstable and dangerous to be around, especially if you disrupt them
and cause any sort of stress. An explosion caused by an overcharged
Crystal Ghoul can be deadly if you stand too close as sharp crystal
shards suddenly shoots in all directions, to impale any obstacle in
their way. With the additional risk of Crystal Infection, should you survive contact with the flying shards.
No
known cure of the infection beyond removal of the infected flesh before
it spreads further. It crystalizes the very cells of the skin and
flesh, coats the inner organs until they stop functioning. Once dead the
victim will rise and act like a Crystal Ghoul, not as aggressive as
regular ghouls but not fully like a Crystal Ghoul either. They do not
overcharge or shatter like Crystal Ghouls, nor do their crystalized
parts regenerated the same way. Making them easier and safer to get rid
of. But a horrible fate to meet as the victim.
