Machine Catalogue

Machine is the term used by the tribes of the Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West world to refer to any of the technologically advanced robots that have become the Earth's dominant species. The majority of these machines are modelled after various forms of fauna that have existed throughout the course of Earth's history, such as avians, ungulates, and even dinosaurs.
