These machines where part of the defence mechanism for the "hub".
These mechanical cheetahs where build to defend the main room that linked the hub branches in case of an intrusion. It is said that they where turned against their original creators after an entity known as "The Narrator" took over their systems.
They are equipped with wall climbing claws that clings to any surfaces, even sealings. they are also made up from the same material from the hub, an unknown indestructible metal. Though a well placed shot to the face can explode their control center and make them blow up.
Do be carful, each part of their body are extremely sharp, simply touching them is enough to cut yourself badly... range weapons are suggested to take them out.
