macrophageLed by Phagien and Scathe, macrophages are the heavy artillery of the immune system. During battle, macrophages swell fearsomely in size. Their cytoskeletal armor is much stronger than a B-cell’s. Their palms emit pyroxin, a chemical that produces intense heat, which weaken invading microbes. Tentacles emerge from their body to pull their opponents into a chamber in his abdomen, where they are dissolved for instant energy. Glowing mitochondria energy pods on their shoulders dim as they grow tired and weak from battle.
