The Itten

Machines were meant to aid human purposes.  But we are past the point where machines primarily serve us.  Now we serve the Machine.  Ours is not a human world anymore, it's Machine-world-- Searuvel-- fueled by human need and greed, fear and hate-- the dark forces of the Id.

And the Searuvel has transformed the Id to a mandroid-- the Itten--a Frostfire Giant, a mad wraith in a mighty body, a titanic Draug, burning cold and hot at once, never resting, laying waste the Edhli and enslaving Man in hellish Searuworks.

Itten from Id(Latin for 'it') and MEng ettin= devouring giant.  The Freudian Id represents the part of the Unconscious containing the biological impulses and drives, which demand immediate gratification.
Searuvel= the Evil Machine.
Draug (ONorse)= a murderous undead monster who leaves his barrow to lay waste the land.
Edhli= the Biosphere.
