Mechalus are a species of the New Hades world, natives of Aleer III.

Because of the basic shillouette resemblance between the two species, a mechalus (pronounced "meck-ah-lus") can be mistaken for a human if the viewer only catches a glimpse or if the area is shadowy.

Averaging about 1.8 meters tall and weighing about 90 kilograms, the mechalus has the general shape and size of a human. On closer inspection, however, the similarities are quickly outdistanced by the differences. Veins of circuitry weave with metal, flesh, and blood to form a totally synthesized body. The mechalus' hair, if any is present, is a combination of protein strands and filaments of cable and wire. Even the skeleton has been reinforced with super-strong synthetic material, and bony protective plates can be seen beneath the bio-organic surface.
