Info

Each flitter has a 50% chance of carrying a disease that will be transmitted to a bite victim. Eight hours after being bitten, the infected player will begin to suffer from a fever. This will soon be followed by the chills. The fever will continue for three days, during which time the player will be incapable of any action. If the victim is not treated with antibody plus during this time, he will die on the beginning of the fourth day. Even if the victim receives a dose of antibody plus, he must wait 24 hours before he feels healthy enough to do anything but rest. 144 Jawfish Type Large Carnivore Number 1-2 Move Fast IM/RS +5/50 Stamina 100 Attack 80 Damage 3d10 bite Special Attack None Special Defense Soft cover while in water Native World Volturnus – fresh water DESCRIPTION: The jawfish is a large predatory fish similar to a shark. Its jaws, more than a meter wide, are filled with thousands of razor-sharp teeth. The jawfish will attack anything in the water smaller than 10 meters long. If the players are aboard any type of craft, the jawfish is 70% likely to attack it rather than the players. Anytime the jawfish attacks a craft, it will overturn the craft, tossing the players into the water. Note, however, the jawfish will still attack the craft 70% of the time as long as the craft remains afloat. If the jawfish attacks a player, it will attack one of them at random. The jawfish will attack only once every three turns, circling its intended victim for two turns between attacks. After making five attacks, the jawfish will loose interest and swim away. Loper Type Large Herbivore Number 2-20 Move Fast IM/RS +5/41 Stamina 300 Attack 40 Damage 2d10 bite and claw Special Attack None Special Defense Immune to needler weapons Native World Volturnus – desert DESCRIPTION: Lopers are two-legged reptiles the size of horses, inhabiting the deserts of Volturnus. They are usually found in the presence of the Ul- Mor, who use them as cavalry mounts, though it is not uncommon to find them in the wild. They are named for the rapid gait they use to cross the desert sands. Though normally timid and shy, lopers will attack with their small fore claws and powerful jaws if provoked. Normally, mounted beasts may not attack in melee, but when mounted by Ul-Mor, lopers are capable of attacking at the rider's direction.
Magma Monster Type Special Number 1 adult, 100+ young Move Very Slow IM/RS +3/30 Stamina 150 Attack 30 Damage 3d10 burn Special Attack No range penalty up to 50m Special Defense Immune to needler, projectile, stun, tangler, laser, frag gren. Native World Volturnus – caverns DESCRIPTION: A magma monster is usually indistinguishable from the pools of lava it inhabits. For most of its life, it remains immersed in the lava, feeding off the tremendous heat. When it has stored enough energy to stimulate reproduction, the magma monster enters its ''female" cycle. During this cycle, it assumes a semi-solid shape and allows itself to be shot from the pool of boiling lava onto a shelf or shore of solid rock, where it cools over several decades and forms a hard crust. When this happens, the magma monster is finally ready to reproduce. It opens a small hole in its outer crust and lays nearly 100 little round blobs of magma. Within 10 days of being laid, these blobs of magma form a hard outer crust, taking on the shape and size of billiard balls. After a century of further cooling (sometimes lying dormant, sometimes rolling around the cavern and hitting their siblings), the adult and the young return to the lava pool and begin this 1,000 year cycle again. If a stranger is fortunate enough to wander into a cavern filled with magma monsters, the adult magma monster will take no action unless the stranger approaches the young. The magma monster will attack if any stranger touches its young (not if the young touch a stranger). It will open a small aperture and spew a stream of lava at its victim. This spurt may travel as far as 50 meters, and is shot with such force no modifiers for range are necessary. Due to the magma monster's hard outer shell, it is not affected by tangier grenades, needler, or projectile weapons. Doze grenades and stun weapons of any sort will not affect it either, since the magma monster's life force is based on thermal energy and these weapons are designed to achieve their effects through big-chemical manipulation. Magma monsters take only 1/2 damage from lasers and fragmentation grenades. Mutating Fungus Type Special Number 1 Move Slow IM/RS special Stamina special Attack special Damage special Special Attack Replaces body cells Special Defense None Native World Volturnus – caverns DESCRIPTION: It is uncertain whether the mutating fungus is an animal, a plant, or a cancer, for it has aspects of all three. In outward appearance, it resembles a white, pasty fungus, yet it is capable of self-locomotion, creeping across small areas of land to attack its prey. Its attack form, however, resembles that of a cancer; replacing the normal, healthy cells of any creature with its own mushy cells. Any character who is exposed to the mutating fungus for eight hours or more, or who sleeps near it for any amount of time, will find a while, pasty growth covering parts of his body. If the character notices the presence of the fungus within three hours of its attack, he may treat the infected part of his body with antibody plus and counteract the effects of the fungus (though he will not tee protected from further attacks!. If the character is not treated within three hours, the infected body part must be amputated, or the character will be completely consumed by the fungus within three days. Any character exposed to a mutating fungus for three days without treatment will be transformed into a mutating fungus permanently. 145
