This artwork depicts a Mannequin, an original type of synthetic bioandroid I came up with for my Doom fanfic "Day of Wrath," analogous to the androids in Alien, the replicants in Blade Runner, and especially the Replikas in Signalis.
Mannequins are plastic imitations of humanity, synthetic lab-grown tissue printed onto a robotic endoskeleton, and represent the soulless falsity of modernity, testament to the manmade horrors of the 21st century that made Doom's Earth a dystopian hell long before the demons invaded.
Despite being artificial constructs, Mannequins are bizarre and difficult to comprehend. Their tissue consists of plastic carbon-based polymers, and defies true classification into "synthetic" or "organic." Despite its base genome resembling highly mutated human DNA, almost akin to cancerous DNA, the tissue itself most resembles fungal matter, leading to Mannequins' notable "mushroom" motifs.
Mannequins have four primary traits as my unique fictional bioandroids:
1. Created during the 21st century crises of nanoplagues and rogue AIs, Mannequins emit an electromagnetic signal that disrupts neural networks, and though remaining effective counters to AIs and nanobot swarms, it also halts Hellgrowth and impairs demonic psyches.
2. Mannequins are clones from the same unknown genomic source, and exhibit an anomalous emergent cognitive gestalt, sharing psychosomatic information in a shared consciousness akin to fungal mycelial networks.
3. Mannequins are verifiably soulless, and despite being animated and even sentient, exhibit no supernatural presence or living aura. This not only makes them immune to demonic corruption but invisible to psychic senses as well, indistinct from the environment or even inanimate objects.
4. While universally considered eerie and uncanny, Mannequins are harmless and noncombative entities, except in the rare and unknown process in which they become "corrupted." In this scenario, Mannequins will exhibit undefined body growths similar to mushrooms or tumors, and become universally hostile even to uncorrupted members of their kind. These infected members' gestalt can become perceptive to and even hazardous to human beings, but uncorrupted Mannequins will universally neutralize any infected members, though it's unclear how this corruption relates to the Mannequins' unique biologies or shared consciousness.

Their horrific synthetic nature was inspired by the modern trope of microplastics:

Their name and design was partly based on the custom Doom enemy by Craneo:

And further elements were inspired by the videogame "Discover My Body":

Other elements originate from the real-life HeLa cell line and Chernobyl radiotrophic fungi.
