Here's a glimpse at the sketches used by our 3D designers to create the monsters you'll meet in Gorky 17.

Grandma

Don’t let the name fool you! There’s nothing motherly in this creature whatsoever. This giant bee has a robo-human head, carries a sickle in her left hand and keeps three "children" dangling from chains.

Smoke Raiders

Two "pilots" have fused with a bio-mechanical, two-legged, hairy beast. Both riders have retained their own brains and weapon systems, allowing each to think, act and attack independently of the other. There are three types of missiles aboard: one for rider 1, one for rider 2, and a 3rd, more powerful weapon launched when both pilots pull their triggers simultaneously.

Fatman

This guy must have been bathing when disaster struck. Now he’s a fat man in a mutated, many-legged bathtub. A horn mounted in front provides an interesting twist. The two syringes stuck into his head continually pump adrenaline to a very sick brain.

Inkubus

This extremely large humanoid measures over 4 meters in height and has an insect's face.

This creature is very deadly – it approaches its enemies quietly, in a crouched position, then straightens up and releases energy waves from its massive brain. During combat it gets invisble for some time, which makes it nearly impossible to hit it.

Schizo family

Talk about a dysfunctional family! This creature consists of daddy, mummy and sonny all in one. Instead of a left leg, there’s a mechanical module, which somewhat hinders its movement, to say the least.

Not exactly the "strokeable" sort, its only hand is full of spikes, and its back is covered with tentacles. These paralyze victims with just the slightest contact. The side containers emit freezing cold nitrogen.
