An Assassindroid is a gynoid designed for the assassination of specific individuals, as opposed to pure combat against a generalized enemy. Often these are given the outward physical appearance of a human female for covert operations in enemy territory. They are frequently depicted as cold, ruthless killers though there are some exceptions to this rule.
