2. Titans (in Greek myth at least) were not eldritch abominations; they were the bones, the very building blocks of the world. An eldritch abomination is something that should not exist, that has no place in the natural order.

You can choose both one option from A and one option from B!

In.

1. Bulldog-like is also quite specific. I can think of many kinds of ponderous heads with short (or no!) snouts that are not bulldog-like, and many bulldog-like heads that are not ponderous.

3. We are not "a natural creature". At most, we are Nature, or an aspect of it. Nature has many forms; why is a two-eyed form more "natural" than a three-eyed one? Since most natural organisms have no eyes, "logically" we shouldn't have any eyes at all. Of course, by that logic we should be a rock, bacterium, or plant, so it's obvious we aren't going by the "standard" natural template.
More likely, we are a sort of nature-associated being, something like the titans of Greek mythology or the titans of Dwarf Fortress or something. Those are all pretty "unnatural" by your standards.

1. Still, the descriptor of 'ponderous' doesn't work.
3. I meant that we should at least look as though we have a place in the natural order of things; we aren't meant to be an eldritch abomination.

Weren't we going to ask Al exactly where Riltia went?
