Meet The Maw
The "Meet The Maw" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Meet The Maw

The reptilian cyborg stands at the height and width of a small transport ship, with a mouth large enough to nearly swallow it as well. Other physical characteristics include gray-scaled skin patched with transparent electrical panels, a glowing energy core fastened to its torso, and alloyed metal limbs complemented with a complex system of hydraulics. Given its enormous size, the cyborg is anchored solidly to its spot and is regarded as if it were a monument. Many fans have brought the monolith something to eat, which it seems to appreciate. The aliens that volunteered for the show are also present, posturing as part of the act. This gargantuan specimen should open up a variety of research possibilities.
