Malog was a mighty warrior, second only to Jamor. During a conflict with a devanu hunting party he was injured terribly, as well as extensive scarring he was forced to have both legs amputated. Fubarnii engineers worked very hard and eventually managed to produce a set of mechanical legs for Malog. This steam powered contraption allowed Malog to once again enter battle. He was so impressed with their creation that he ordered that all his personal guard should gain such a benefit. The ″Striders″, as they are now referred to, had the suitable surgery so that they could be fitted with smaller versions of Malog’s legs, allowing them to keep up with the larger Belog. The concept of Striders has since spread, and they are seen in many Delgon forces.
