Axlotl Tanks

An invention of the Tleilaxu, who are masters at genetic engineering. The Tanks are living beings capable of producing a living human from the cells of cadavers. An Axlotl Tank sounds like a glass laboratory tube, but it is actually a living human woman. The Bene Tleilax (a faction of despised, fanatical genetic engineers) secretly brain-wipe their own women, medically alter their bodies, and turn them into biological incubators. These massive, immobile, brain-dead physical “tanks” are kept alive by machines solely to clone dead people (called “Gholas”) and mass-produce the synthetic Spice that the galaxy depends on.
