Woodbots are green humanoids from planet Zuton with bulblike sensory appendages along their skulls and backs. Many still cling to a primitive existence in the Forest of Nodes and, lacking any prominent genitalia, have no taboo against nudity and never wear clothes. Others live in more urban areas such as Twilight City wear they face discrimination and prejudice from the Human immigrants, and many have their sensory bulbs surgically removed to fit in better. Still others are slaves of the mutant rock man Vogor.
Although Woodbots generally grow to five feet tall or less, an occasional mutation causes them to grow up to thirty feet tall. These ones are generally viewed as outcasts and live in fear of the world beyond their homes.
