they have organic parts, but they are created, and seen simply as machines by the general public. especially with enhanced wyfexes, there is a big market for spare parts and synthetic organs, and often they end up replacing everything organic over time with tech. their brain is essentially a motherboard of a computer, and it's the only part that cannot be replaced, if personality, memories, etc. are something that's valued.

Arcus has mused about this in a portal entry:

there are also general things about wyfexes and specifics about Arcus on her talisman challenge, and a character development prompt:

i'd love to write a full thing about wyfexes as a species some day, but knowing they've been in development since 2015, i'm not hopeful for it happening too soon, pfft. but i'm extremely grateful that someone is interested, it does spark a small flame to be noticed. ♥
