96 Mordax Type Small Omnivore Number 2-20 Move Medium IM/RS +7/65 Stamina 10 Attack 45 Damage 1d2 sting Special Attack S5/T5 Poison Special Defense None Native World Volturnus – anywhere DESCRIPTION: Mordax are large flying insects about 10 cm long. Their sting is poisonous to all player character and NPC races. Mordax may be found anywhere on the planet Volturnus, but are particularly attracted to the flowers of tangler vines. Queequeg Type Large Carnivore Number 1-5 Move Fast – 90 meters/turn IM/RS +6/60 Stamina 180 Attack 50 Damage 3d10 harpoon Special Attack Harpoon can strike foes 5m away Special Defense Chitinous exoskeleton acts like skeinsuit, reducing damage from non-energy attacks by half Native World Volturnus – forests DESCRIPTION: Queequegs have barrel-shaped bodies with three jointed legs arranged like a tripod, and three eyes spaced evenly around the body so it can see all directions at once. They have a hard exoskeleton that matches the color of the plants where they live, providing a natural camouflage. Its mouth is in its underbelly, surrounded by small tentacles. A single 5-meter-longtentacle grows from the top of the body. The long tentacle tapers to a point with a razor-sharp barb. The queequeg attacks by whipping this tentacle at its prey like a harpoon. Once the tentacle hits a target the sharp barb makes it difficult to pull out. The queequeg then pulls the victim to its mouth in one turn, and holds the prey with the filaments while devouring it. A character that is being eaten automatically takes 2d10 points of damage each turn until rescued. The victim can not fight back once he is held in the small tentacles. If characters attack the harpoon tentacle and cause 20 points of damage, the tentacle is severed. The hard exoskeleton is very effective defense against physical damage. In game terms, it acts as a skeinsuit against all non-energy damage (reducing all incoming attack damage by one half). Roller Type Large Omnivore Number 1-5 Move Slow IM/RS +5/45 Stamina 150 Attack 50 Damage 4d10 claw/bite Special Attack None Special Defense None Native World Volturnus – caverns and ruins DESCRIPTION: A roller is a large herbivore named for its unusual "steam roller" type organ. This organ is actually a huge, cylindrical, hide-covered mass of bane and cartilage attached to two frontal limbs by ball and socket joints. The organ is used to crush the shard grass on which the creature feeds. The mouth of the roller is located on its underside. The
crushed shards from the digestible shoots of grass are sucked up into this mouth. Internal organs of the creature separate the glass-like shards from the digestible shoots of grass. The indigestible shards are then stored in a special organ and used as missile weapons for the creature's rear defense. The roller has four normal limbs used for locomotion. The two eyes of the creature are located on the head near the large ears. The head does not have a mouth. A roller has a thick hide that protects it from being cut by shard grass. Rollers are generally docile creatures, and will not attack unless frightened or attacked themselves. They are usually found grazing on the grassy plains of Volturnus in herds of 5 to 50. If a roller scores a successful hit upon a character, the victim must roll his Reaction Speed or less. If the roll is successful, the roller attack is avoided; if not, the unfortunate character suffers 8-80 points of damage. (Note: if avoiding the roller means flinging oneself into the shard grass, the usual 1-10 points of damage will be taken.) Sand Shark Type Giant Carnivore Number 1-2 Move Medium IM/RS +5/50 Stamina 80 Attack 50 Damage 2d10 bite Special Attack None Special Defense Immunity to needler weapons Has hard cover when burrowing Native World Volturnus – deserts DESCRIPTION: The sand shark is a burrowing creature. It is 3 meters long, has a wedge-shaped head, thick, abrasive, leathery hide and twelve pairs of short legs. A sand shark has no eyes; it detects things by vibration, and smells through two rows of sensory organs and two sensory pits in the head. A sand shark burrows just beneath the surface of the sand, leaving a telltale ripple in its wake. Only explosives will affect it when it is beneath the sand, and they cause only half-damage. It reveals itself when it erupts at the feet of its target to attack. It attacks by biting. Its large mouth is filled with three rows of jagged teeth. The sand shark can cross rocky areas by slithering across the surface, but its movement rate is reduced to Slow. Slavebot Type Cybernetic Number 1-5 Move Medium IM/RS +7/65 Stamina 80 Attack 50 Damage By weapon type Special Attack Punching Score = 10 Special Defense None Native World Volturnus – The Artifact DESCRIPTION: Slavebots were created to guard Sathar installations. Slavebots are cybernetic combinations of living beings and machines. The biological part of the slavebot is the remains of a captured enemy. Most of the brain has been replaced by a cybernetic implant. The slavebot is controlled by a disembodied Sathar brain kept in special liquid solution. The brain is almost immortal since there are no other body parts to age. The Sathar brain is linked to a radio transmitter that sends coded signals. These are then received by the slavebot so that direct control is possible. The slavebots on Volturnus are Eorna captured in the battle that nearly wiped out the Eorna race. A supply of captured victims is kept in cryogenic storage to provide replacements for worn-out slavebots. 97
