This P.R.A.W.N Suit Mk.III unit is used by Marguerit Maida for transport and combat, the suit shows heavy damage and bears several custom modifications added by Marguerit to suit her needs. She can be seen controlling it during her first encounter with Robin as well as docked in the Moonpool of her base.
Marguerit's P.R.A.W.N. suit[]
The suit appears to have been poorly maintained by Marguerit and is very damaged as a result, despite not being an old unit. The window is dirty and very scratched, the same holds true for the rest of the suit which has been patched up with pieces of scrap metal and shows signs of rusting and barnacle growth. The outer covering of the upper portion of the left leg has been almost entirely lost, showing inner workings of the suit. A cloth is seen tightly wrapped around the upper portion of the left arm.
On either side of the window, several metal plates have been affixed. Upon these three pairs of forwards facing spikes that appear to be made of bone are mounted as defensive tools. The right arm of the suit is heavily modified for offensive purposes, with the entire hand seeming to have been removed and replaced with a single Chelicerate mandible bound to the arm with plates of metal and tight bandaging, thus making the already damaging punch of the Prawn Suit into a fatal offensive weapon.
Upon each shoulder of the suit a large thruster, which appears to be a Seatruck thruster with its outer cowling missing, has been added facing backwards to allow greater speed and manoeuvrability to be achieved. The suit is colored very dark blue to allow it to blend in with the waters.
Acquisition[]
The suit seems to have been acquired by Marguerit after Alterra came to 4546B, as it appears to be a Mk.III unit, which are stated to be relatively new and would not have been available at the time Marguerit crashed twelve years ago.

This standard-issue Mk.3 P.R.A.W.N. has been manually altered by its owner, exchanging one of its hot-swappable work arms for the mandible of a young chelicerate. Given the range of available high-tech P.R.A.W.N. modifications in the non-classified Alterra fabrication suite, these customizations appear to be more of a stylistic choice than a functional one. However, the sharp claw arm could certainly be used effectively in defensive scenarios by an experienced pilot. The custom suit also appears to have seen heavy use over a long period of time, judging by the barnacle overgrowth and permanently damaged sections of exoskeleton. Assessment: The owner doesn't want you messin' around. |

Trivia[]
- The Chelicerate mandible on the suit's arm is smaller than the mandibles of Chelicerates in-game, suggesting that it may have been taken from a juvenile or perhaps modeled out of a different bone.
