The '''Architect Body''' is a constructable bio-mechanical vessel designed by the [[Architects]]. One vessel can be made for [[Al-An]] at the [[Fabricator Base|Fabrication Facility]] by [[Robin Ayou]] after collecting all three necessary components.

== Appearance ==
The Architect Body resembles that of the mythological [[Wikipedia:Centaur|centaur]], with a four-legged posterior body and a human-like anterior body bearing a pair of arms and the head. The head, torso, and several of its limbs glow several different colors. The head of the vessel has no facial features and sports a set of horns, whether these are for defensive purposes is not known. The hands of the vessel resemble crustacean-like pinschers, despite Al-An's praising of the opposable thumb, the architects have seemingly chosen to omit their inclusion in the main body.

== Components ==
The '''Architect Body''' is made up of three separate components. These components being the organs, the skeleton, and the tissues. 

=== Organs ===
The organs for the Architect Body can be located in the [[Crystal Caves Cache]], in an open container.

=== Skeleton ===
The skeleton for the Architect Body can be located in the [[Deep Lilypads Cave Cache]], just in front of the [[Alien Statue (Below Zero)|Alien Statue]].

== Trivia ==

* Whilst reconstructing his body, Al-An mentions that it, and presumably all other Architect storage mediums, have been bioengineered from 27 different species.
* The vessel has built-in lights, that change colors when Robin discusses certain topics or interacts with Al-An. This could possibly indicate that Architect's show their emotions through these lights, with each color having a different meaning.
