A bunch of ideas for critters for the Borg Norn Hive metaroom.

Borg norn idea isn't mine but Annex did seem to want advice on the ecosystem of his room so I drew these.

Coolant Fly - Small bug with two syringes in place of legs, and a tiny helicopter blade instead of wings. Works by flying down to the water, sucking up a bit via the syringes, then flying back and spraying water from its syringes onto machinery producing steam and cooling the machinery. Pallid coloration for organic parts, implants are dark-grey and shiny-polished.

Junkling - Tiny mass of random looking machinery with organic limbs ranging from tentacles to insectile pinchers to humanlike hands placed at random. Hobbles about, grabbing bits of detritus and drops it into the water at the bottom of the room.

Grinderfish - Looks like a large fish with mechanical dive tanks, armor and a big industrial grinder for a face. Swims at bits of detritus the junklings toss in and "grinds" them to pulp. They produce a little cloud of bubbles due to grinder action when working preventing the grinding from being seen. The only kind of detritus they ignore is their own "pulp." Pale grayish coloration.

Suckerfish - Looks like a fish with a gas-mask for a head. Eats pulp left over from grinderfish. Has a pale color like real world deep-cave fish.
