Visual Thesis

Small infected attack craft: broken metal hull swallowed by Scourge growth, clean enough to read at arcade speed but still wet, chitinous, and hostile.

Silhouette Lock

• Primary read: small craft, not winged beast.
• Proportion: compact wedge or stinger form with an obvious forward direction.
• Iconic shape signature: toxic-green core/eye embedded in rusted hull and chitin.
• Forbidden shape drift: clean fighter jet, fantasy bat, generic insect, smooth drone.

Material And Color Lock

• Body materials: rusted hull, black chitin, raw tissue in engine gaps.
• Accent materials: living spore pods and broken fins.
• Emissive color: toxic green core/eye only.
• Forbidden colors: clean cockpit blue, neon trim, glossy chrome.
