The term is descriptive rather than taxonomic and is used to sketch potential morphologies for alien life forms or advanced bioengineered beings.
Typical morphology includes a compact trunk containing the major organs and a flexible spine, with multiple
Locomotion benefits and challenges depend on leg number and arrangement. Larger torsolegs may achieve high stability
Ecology and reproduction of torsolegs are speculative. In fiction, they are typically described as terrestrial, with
In culture, torsolegs appear in science fiction and fantasy as alien visitors, bioengineering concepts, or metaphorical
