Meathook Mk3 was a vast improvement over the Mk1, featuring almost-articulated joints, highly dexterous dental pick hands, and Dr. Smock’s patented Teenyfeets™ ambulatory system. The Mk3 was displayed at the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris, where it was met with polite applause.

In sheer defiance of the World Wide Web Consortium's will, Ectomo was designed using a non-web-standard font. Luckily, it is included in the excellent font pack released by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, which can be freely downloaded in Mac and PC formats here. Ectomo should still look fine without it, though.
Heh. Teenyfeets™ made me giggle.

The explosive nipples were perhaps one of the most delightful selling points for this model; ‘quite handy when one’s hovercraft is full of eels.

Meathook Mk3 was supposed to revitalize the dentistry, meatpacking, underwater exploration, and ballet industries. Sadly, due to an unspeakable incident involving the Duke of Wallachia’s young ward, Mk3 was forcibly deactivated and Dr. Smock was ostracized from polite society. He died in obscurity in a lonely garret in Prague. The official cause of death was “heartbreak”, but later diagnosticians of a Freudian bent deemed him a victim of malnutrition due to acute moustache dysmorphia.
