The Hotlands were home to many caverns, across the way from the lava lakes and earthen plateaus that surrounded the CORE.
Tirelessly, a monster worked in his subterranean abodes. Pits and pools of chemical compounds, manufactured within his body with the assistance of his purple, manipulation-based magic, sizzled and steamed, reacting to the heat of their surroundings. With heat, came energy. That was the prospect of thermodynamics upon which electricity was supplied to the entire kingdom.
In Abathur’s case, that energy fueled his experiments. Two pairs of eyes silently scanned over his tests, making careful mental notes on each individual feature. Soon after, the chitinous, worm-like monster had come to the conclusion that one of his rare expeditions into the Underground was necessary.
To scour, far and wide for the necessary materials would be his goal. Need they be genetic code from one of the Migosps that had been slowly breeding in the RUINs, to perhaps a sample of the Lesser Dog’s fur, to observe its expanding properties. Vulkin’s anatomy still infuriated and piqued Abathur’s curiosity, though finally, attempting to study the Captain of the Royal Guard - Undyne... a monster with more DETERMINATION than previously thought possible.
But - as with any scientist in the Underground - if a human were to be found... Mandibles clicked and twitched in anticipation at the mere thought.
All of these and more would be suitable tests to initiate. The only question was... which ones came first?
