Zuqaqip

Zuqaqip ("scorpion men") was the name Avram gave to the robots which guarded the path leading to the entrance to Utnapishtim's city in the mountains of Mashu. They were humanoid in shape and were armed with lasers.

Avram encountered the robots and learned from them of Utnapishtim's conflict with Qataka. He later led Ace and Gilgamesh to the zuqaqip, who allowed them to proceed. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Genesys)
