Deviation O-025 consists of a series of small figurines made from metal ingots in a simplistic humanoid shape. Each figurine has a large cubic head with three oval-shaped etchings in a 2-1 pattern to represent a rudimentary face. A series of rectangular prisms form the torso and limbs.

The Deviation's O-025 main trait is its ability to reshape any metals of similar composition and purity to itself. The Deviation can craft a range of common tools including pickaxes, hammers, and saws, mechanical parts for machines, and repair itself, if damaged. The Deviation must make physical contact with the metal in order to reshape it. It performs this action rather like a human potter molding clay.

Deviation O-025 can also absorb metals to purify them. Impurities are expelled as a kind of slag-like waste product. This causes the Deviation to grow in size. If the Deviation grows too large, it can even become immobilized due to its own weight.

Currently, 26 figurines are in securement. Research suggests that, although the figurines are capable of performing complex actions, they are not truly intelligent, and are simply automatons executing a pre-programmed script.

In the wild, the Deviation will continuously search for metal to construct a large complex mechanical structure (logged as O-025-A) made of springs, linkages, and hydraulics. If multiple Deviation O-025 figurines encounter each other, they will cooperate, and work together on a single mechanical structure. If the Deviation is deprived of metal for an extended period, it will become restless and increasingly aggressive.

Once a O-025-A mechanical structure reaches , it will switch on. The Deviation will continue to gather metals and feed them into the machine, which the machine will use as fuel to produce a series of duplicate figurines (logged as O-025-B). Notably, as an O-025-A machine produces more O-025-B duplicate figurines, the original figurine appears to grow in intelligence and autonomy.

Securement Procedures:
Do:
Each O-025 figurine should be secured individually in a standard Level II securement chamber lined with any high-strength organic material.
Provide each O-025 figurine with a steady supply of metals at least twice a week, and dismantle any O-025-A machine it constructs. (Note: this can be done within the securement chamber in full view of the Deviation, and will not provoke hostility). The scrap from a dismantled O-025-A machine should be disposed of in a Level IV incinerator.
Do Not:
Allow O-025-B duplicate figurines to be created.
