NEW MUTANT ANIMALS

Guest · Unread post by **Guest** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 5:33 pm

Instead of having all the mutants divided out among 20 or so different topics (and then stickying them all), I've consolidated all the mutants into a few posts for ease of viewing. Please do not post comments in these topics, however feel free to post new mutants, advantanges, vestigial traits, animal powers, and other miscellaney.

WARNING: LOONNNNG TOPIC!!!

Build: Medium.
Mutant Changes & Cost

5 BIO-E for partial. Has the general characteristics similar to a mutant bear (small, humanoid in appearance, difined snout and heavy fur, and massive build) but is distinguished by it's black-and-white coat.

Vestigial Disadvantages
-5 BIO-E for Color Blindness.

-10 BIO-E for taking Vesigial "pseudo thumb" (Special). Over the centuries, Giant Pandas have evolved a "pseudo thumb" formed by an elongated and enlarged wrist bone covered with a fleshy pad of skin. Now this "thumb" gets in the way and reduces the Panda's manual dexterity (-10% on skills requiring manual dexterity).
-10 BIO-E for taking Reptile Brain: Predator.
-10 BIO-E for Musk Glands.
-10 BIO-E for Diet: Carnivore.
-10 BIO-E for Diet: Herbivore.
-15 BIO-E for Diet: Bamboo (Special). Giant pandas are biologically unique. They are closely related to bears and have the digestive system of a carnivore, but they have adapted to a vegetarian diet and depend almost exclusively on bamboo as a food source. Not designed to process plant matter, the panda's digestive system cannot easily break down the cellulose in bamboo, so pandas must eat huge amounts - as much as 83 pounds or about 40 kg, and for up to 14 hours, each day [Source: WWF China].

NOTES & MORE INFO:
- Unlike other bears, pandas do not hibernate.
- There is on-going debate as to whether this creature is truly a bear or more related to the raccoon, or perhaps in a class of its own, rather than to a bear.

Boglin wrote:Coelacanth
ORIGINAL ANIMAL CHARACTERISTICS
Description: Known as the "living fossil", this fish was once thought to have gone extinct more than 60 million years ago, until a live specimen was caught off the east coast of South Africa off the Chalumna River in 1938. It's thick, slimy body has eight fins, six of these are at the ends of leglike extremities ("lobe-fins") that can move in any direction. It's head is protected by a shield of bony plates and it has a unique hinged jaw that is found only on others of it's kind enabling it to move it's top & lower jaws to swallow larger prey. It continues to live in the ocean at depths of 650 feet, in numerous locations around Africa & Indonesia, numbering only in the low hundreds. After the crash, the numbers of the Coelacanth begain to slowly increase as mutations made them self-aware enough to avoid capture..plus the humans who caught them to sell as lab specimens were all wiped out. Very rarely do any mutant coelacanth come to the surface, and most sightings of them are from other ocean-going mutants. Due to the "freaky" appearence & coloration of the Coelacanth, the site of one silently emerging from the ocean depths (or coming across one under water) at night is enough to un-nerve almost anybody.

Size Level: 9
Length: to 6 feet
Weight: to 175 pounds
Build: Long

MUTANT CHANGES & COSTS
Total BIO-E: 50
Attribute Bonuses:
P.S. +5
P.E. +3

HUMAN FEATURES
Hands: None: A pair of fins (the "high pectoral fins") used for swimming.
5 BIO-E for Partial: High pectoral "lobe-fins" become stronger & slightly more developed that branch apart at the end to form a non-opposable thumb.
10 BIO-E for Full: Fully developed arms. "High Pectoral Lobe-Fins" branch apart in three places to form arms with fingers and an opposable thumb at the ends.

Biped: None: No legs, just a long eel-like tail for swimming and a pair of rear fins. Helpless on land, unless alternative means of movement cane be found. If the character has arms then he will be able to drag himself on land at a speed of 1. Can swim ten times faster then other mutants.
5 BIO-E for Partial: It's 4 "lobe-fins" (the high pectoral fins & ventral fins) mutated into primitive legs capable of walking on land. Character can run at half of it's maximum speed while on dry land.; gets +2 to dodge while underwater and can swim twice as fast as normal.
10 BIO-E for Full: Ventracl fins have fully developed into a set of legs equal to a human's.

Speech: 5 BIO-E for partial
10 BIO-E for full

Looks: None: grayish-blue, tough skin, mouth encircles half the head, wide-set eyes, very wide, pointed head with no neck, large sail-like dorsal fin on back with a second lobe-fin dorsal fin near the tail, webbed fingers and toes, bolbous 3-lobed tail, powerful build, gill slits on sides of head, no nose but has small nostrils.
5 BIO-E for partial: very wide head and mouth, wide-set eyes, powerful build, no hair, small sail-like dorsal fin on back, gray-blue skin, webbed fingers and toes, gill slits on side of head, large, pointed nose with small nostrils.
10 BIO-E for full: bald, large head, wide mouth with jagged teeth, pointed nose with no nostrils, grayish complexion, long bump in center of back, slight webbing between fingers and toes, short, fat neck with small gill slits on each side.

Natural Weapons:
5 BIO-E for 1D6 Teeth
10 BIO-E for 1D8 Teeth
5 BIO-E for Bony Head Plates: Butting with head does 1D6 damage. Also acts as a natural Helmet that protects the head with A.R. 10 and S.D.C. +25.

Mutant Animal Powers:
5 BIO-E for Swim skill equal to 70%; 80% if Multi-directional fins are taken.
5 BIO-E for Breathe underwater
5 BIO-E for Night vision (40 feet)
10 BIO-E for Brute Strength
15 BIO-E for Beastly Strength
5 BIO-E for Multidirectional fins: Character has complete control over it's Epicaudal (second tail fin), Anal & second Dorsal lobe-fins. These fins help the character move in any direction and grant a +4 to dodge rolls while underwater.
5 BIO-E for Jelly Filled Gland: Located under the nasal cartilage, that is served by numerous sensory organs, similiar to a shark's Ampullae of Lorenzini. This gland enables the character to detect the weak electrical field given off by living creatures. Range is 5 feet (1.5 m), double underwater.
10 BIO-E for Unique Swim Bladder: Swim bladder is filled with an oily, fatty tissue that remains in the bladder at all times. Instead of adjusting to different depths like a gas-filled swim bladder, the fat-filled bladder balances out the density of the characters bones and tissues without changing. The character naturally hovers at the same depth underwater unless it actively swims up or down.
15 BIO-E for Slimy Body: Adds +10 to Speed attribute while swimming- character will taste particularly disgusting & opponent will become mildly nauseous for 1D4 rounds after biting the character.
15 BIO-E for Light Natural Body Armor: AR: 8, SDC: +20
20 BIO-E for Medium Natural Body Armor: AR: 10, SDC: +40
15 BIO-E for Pressure Resistance: Allows the character to resist the effects of water pressure, up to 600 ft deep (+100 ft every 3rd level), without worry of such ailments as damage to blood vessels and decompression sickness. Since most Coelacanth live at depths of 650 feet (200 meters), their bodies have evolved (before mutation) to survive at such depths without any negative concequences. To keep this ability, the player must spend points on it.

(Vestigial Disadvantages):
-5 BIO-E for Reptile Brain: Predator
-15 BIO-E for Aquatic Vestigial Skin
-15 BIO-E for Aquatic Respiratory System
-5 BIO-E for Webbed Hands and Feet (only if character has Hands AND Feet)
-10 BIO-E for Diet: Carnivore
-20 BIO-E for Vestigial Decompression Vulnerability: Coelacanths live underwater at depths of 650 feet & only by mutation are they able to survive going closer to the surface. By taking this vestigial trait, the mutant Coelacanth will not be able to go to the surface for more then a few minutes without running the risk of dying due to decompression. (Note: It is highly suggested that players who want mutant Coelacanths to be able to interact with the surface world, NOT to take this vestigial trait. Otherwise your character's visit to the surface would be short-lived; literally.)

Original Animal Characteristics
Description: Unlike some animal orders, there is a fairly wide variation of body types among the Anomura. Four superfamilies of animals compose the order of Anomura; Galatheoida (consisting of squat lobsters, porecelain crabs and others), Hippoidea (sand crabs and mole crabs), Lomisoidea (hair stone crab), and Paguroida (hermit crabs, king crabs, and stone crabs, among others). General notable differences from other decapods are that the fifth pair of pereiopds is generally under-developed and found inside the gill chamber and they generally have a developed telson, which can be used for swimming, digging, or holding the body inside a gastropod shell.

Boglin wrote:Dinichthys
ORIGINAL ANIMAL CHARACTERISTICS
Description: A primitive, armoured, fishlike animal that dominated ancient seas. Dinichthys lived during the Late Devonian Period (374 to 360 million years ago) and is found fossilized in rocks of that age in Europe, northern Asia, and North America. Dinichthys grew to a length of about 30 feet, more than 6 feet of which consisted of an armoured head shield that was hinged in the neck region, permitting the upper jaw to be raised in relation to the lower. Dinichthys was clearly the dominant marine predator of its time. In the world of After the Bomb, mutant Dinichthys are rare, but exist in small numbers near the coasts of MesozoicLand, perhaps also created as a possible Aquatic Attraction of the Pre-Crash park. They've developed a hatred for mutant sharks & believe themselves to still be a contender for the title of dominant marine predator.

Size Level: 22
Length: to 30 feet
Weight: to 2,000 pounds
Build: Long

MUTANT CHANGES & COSTS
Total BIO-E: 0
Attribute Bonuses:
P.S.: +8
P.E.: +4
Spd.: +4

HUMAN FEATURES
Hands: None: A pair of fins used for swimming.
10 BIO-E for Partial: Fins become "lobe-fins", or fins on the end of limbs. Stronger, more developed fins that branch apart at the end to form a non-opposable thumb.
15 BIO-E for Full: Fully developed arms. Fins branch apart in three places to form fingers and an opposable thumb.

Biped: None: No legs, just a long eel-like tail for swimming and a pair of rear fins. Helpless on land, unless alternative means of movement cane be found. If the character has arms then he will be able to drag himself on land at a speed of 1. Can swim ten times faster then other mutants.
5 BIO-E for Partial: Fins grow into "lobe-fins" & become strong enough to support the weight of the character on land. Can rear up on hind legs like a bear & walk that way, but the long tail design makes it a bit difficult. Prefers to walk on all 4's.
10 BIO-E for Full: Fully developed set of legs equal to a human's.

Speech: 5 BIO-E for Partial
10 BIO-E for Full

Looks: None: Rounded head & thick body with thick, greenish skin; awkward, flat legs and arms. Head, eyes & part of neck covered in heavy bony plates. Large, powerful mouth, jaws like a snapping turtle's beak. Thick tail with thin, eel-like fin on tip, webbed fingers and toes.
5 BIO-E for Partial: Rounded head with flat face, eyes on side of head; thick greenish skin; short arms & legs; webbed fingers and toes.
Full Human looks are NOT available.

Natural Weapons:
5 BIO-E for 1D10 Bone jaw
10 BIO-E for 2D10 Bone jaw
10 BIO-E for Extra Jaw Strength (Enables the character to use P.S. bonuses in bite attacks.)
10 BIO-E for Bone Plates: Butting with head does 2D4 damage. Also acts as a natural helmet that protects the head with A.R. 12 and S.D.C. +25.

5 BIO-E for Swim skill equal to 80%
5 BIO-E for Breathe underwater
10 BIO-E for Light Natural Body Armor: A.R.: 7 S.D.C.: +25

10 BIO-E for Extra P.E.
10 BIO-E for Beastly Strength
15 BIO-E for Crushing Strength
5 BIO-E for Predator Burst
15 BIO-E for Locking Jaws: requires the bone jaw natural weapon to be purchased, once the character makes a successful bite attack, they can lock their jaws with crushing strength, doing an additional 2D8 damage per melee and has a 20% chance of breaking the bone of the target (if animal). The jaws cannot be released except if the character releases or is killed, otherwise it takes a combined strength equal three times the character's P.S. to pry the jaws apart. This, combined with bone plates, makes for a virtually in-escapable situation.
20 BIO-E for Dinichthys ability to bite through bone, cartilage, shells & other hard organic defenses. When attacking an opponent with a natural A.R., character will inflict damage directly to the victim's Hit Points, regardless of rolling over the A.R. or not. If attacking an opponent with an un-natural A.R. of 12 or less, will bite directly through & inflict damage to victim's natural S.D.C. (Note: Must first purchase Bone Jaws)

(Vestigial Disadvantages):
-5 BIO-E for Reptile Brain: Predator
-15 BIO-E for Aquatic Vestigial Skin
-15 BIO-E for Aquatic Respiratory System
-5 BIO-E for Webbed Hands and Feet (only if character has Hands AND Feet)

There are many other amphibian mutations, but few are as menacing to the inhabitants of Gatorland as this creature. With their large and powerful toothy jaws, these creatures are blamed for the loss of many swamp traveller as well as animals and children from communities located close to wetlands.

A mutant relative of the grey squirrel. These odd creatures are primarily carrion feeders, but have also been known to turn predatory when carrion is scarce, or another larger carrion feeder is sharing the Quirrel's territory. Often times, if a settlement is nearby, they will find the community dump a veritable buffet. Normally, the razortooth quirrels will leave the community alone, but will attack if they feel their access to their food is threatened.

Rali wrote:Guargoyle
In the late 2040's several biotech companies began to create new creatures to supplement their human security forces. It was around this time that increasingly violent anti-eugenics groups were attacking EGG manufacturers and bioengineering facilities. Since regular human guards were not very effective, companies chose to grow something a little more... intimidating. The Guargoyles were one of the more popular choices, and were individually grown with inbred loyalty and obedience to their host corporation. Guargoyle intelegence was designed to be slightly higher than a domesticated dog, but less than that of a primate, which made them quite easy to train.

In the world of After the Bomb, these creatures have changed very little, and through the past several generations they still contain their inbred loyalty and obedience toward anyone seen as a member of their original sponsor.

Most guargoyles maintain a den or camp within five miles of their sponsors building or ruins with a usual population of 12 to 20 with a social structure similar to that of a pack of wolves with the strongest acting as pack leader. However, some have had to find new grounds as their original sponsor facilities were wiped out in the Big Death, or by marauders in the aftermath. These 'ronin guargoyles' will usually find a new place to guard and protect, or may even be found serving a new master in a wilderness fortress.

Original Animal Characteristics
Description: Zeedonks or Zonkeys are hybrid crosses between zebras and donkeys. They are very rare and will only be found where both zebras and donkey are found in proximity to each other. Like mules they are often sterile, with a very rare case of one zeedonk that bred with a bay mare. Donkeys have 44 chromosomes and zebra have 62. Most often it has to be the zebra sire with a donkey mare. The date from as far back as 1815. Often they will look like a donkey in almost every aspect except that they will have a black-white striped Mohawk mane and black-white striped legs or socks.

Mephisto wrote:Jellyfish

ORIGINAL ANIMAL CHARACTERISTICS
Description: Jellyfish are invertebrates that live in the ocean and are 94% water. They have a bell-shaped body with several dozen tentacles coming out that exist as a defense mechanism and also help in hunting. There are many species of jellyfish, some more dangerous than the others. All are poor swimmers (except for the Box Jellyfish) and rely on ocean currents for movement. Note that the Box Jellyfish has the most deadly poison sting of all Jellyfish (and one of the most venomous marine animals period), and is responsible for a number of human fatalities each year.
Important Note: Because of the character's lack of spine and central nervous system, both strength and pain are not registered the same as a normal character. The P.S. Maximum is 12 regardless of bonuses (only roll 1D6 for P.S.) and the character automatically gets a +6 bonus to save vs. pain.

Size Level: 2
Length: Varies
Weight: Varies
Build: Medium

MUTANT CHANGES & COSTS
Total BIO-E: 80
Attribute Bonuses:
None

HUMAN FEATURES
Hands: Partial hands are automatic, because the tentacles are the equivalent of partial hands.
5 BIO-E for Full. One pair of tentacles has three branches at the end of each that serve as two fingers and a thumb. Note: must be bought for EACH Extra Pair of Tentacles for full use.
Biped: None; Crawls along with arms.
10 BIO-E for Partial (two stubby legs and torso).
15 BIO-E for Full (the tentacles are mutated into arms and legs, and remaining tentacles are small or non-existent).
Speech: 10 BIO-E for Partial. Anything the character says sounds like it's being said through a fan and will be hard to understand. -15% on any language skill the character may have.
15 BIO-E for Full. The character speaks with a slightly altered voice, but is understandable.
Looks: None; Bell-shaped body with eyes on the outside of the body, with long, flowing tentacles protruding from the main body.
5 BIO-E for Partial; Huge head connected directly to a body, with arms and legs coming out of the body as one solid mass; multiple eyes surrounding the head, vaguely humanoid mouth, ears, and nose; clearly not human!
Full Human Looks are NOT available.
Natural Weapons:
5 BIO-E for Gripping Tentacles. Unlike octopuses, jellyfish rely on poison stings to subdue the enemy. Consequently, the strength of the tentacles is not as impressive. The characters tentacles are actually weaker than human arms, and as such suffers a -2 penalty on grappling moves, and Crush/Squeeze does only 1 damage per attack.

Mutant Animal Powers:
10 BIO-E for Extra Mental Endurance
10 BIO-E for Extra Physical Endurance
5 BIO-E for Advanced Vision
10 BIO-E for Advanced Touch
5 BIO-E for Swimming 30% (Box Jellyfish: Swimming 60%).
10 BIO-E for Predator Burst (Box Jellyfish only)
15 BIO-E for Multi-Limb Coordination. The ability to use more than one pair of limbs per melee. Provides one additional attack or action per melee and +1 to strike and +1 to parry. Can be bought three times (no additional attacks per melee, but provides an additional +1 to strike and parry per multi-limb coordination) to represent up to eight limbs of the jellyfish.
10 BIO-E for Poison Sting. The sting of the jellyfish is dangerous to the nervous system and is designed to incapacitate. Any character stung by the jellyfish needs to roll against lethal poison to avoid being paralyzed. Characters paralyzed stay that way for 1D4 hours. The poison takes 1D6 minutes to work (half the time for a Box Jellyfish, and that poison gets a -2 to save against), and also causes damage: 1D6 S.D.C. (1D8 for the Box Jellyfish) regardless of the saving throw. Poison damage is cumulative for up to three stings and each sting requires a separate saving throw. The poison sting can be used once per melee as a normal attack for the character.

Vestigial Disadvantages:
-5 BIO-E for Reptile Brain: Predator
-10 BIO-E for Diet: Carnivore.
-20 BIO-E for Vestigial Disadvantage: Environment: Marine (requires to be in water to survive)
-5 BIO-E per pair for Vestigial Disadvantage: Tentacles (tentacle version of vestigial tail)

Boglin wrote:Kiwi
ORIGINAL ANIMAL CHARACTERISTICS
Description: All kiwi are pear-shaped, flightless, mostly nocturnal birds, related to the same family as the ostrich & other flightless birds. They possess one of the most bizarre, un-birdlike adaptaions: a extremely acute sense of smell. Unlike most birds, Kiwi nostrils are located on the tip of their long beaks, making it easy for them to sniff out food along the ground. They are completely tailless, with tiny stubs of vestigial wings hidden beneath their spiky, fur-like plumage. After the Crash, mutant kiwi began to take control over their homeland of New Zealand & reclaimed dominance over it after kicking out all non-native creatures. After several hundred years, the kiwi were finally back in charge of things, which suits them fine so long as they stay out of each other's territory.

5 BIO-E for Partial: round body with short, muscular legs, body covered with scales, three toes and fingers, long neck, small head with thick, hair-like feathers, tiny eyes, narrow mouth that extends forward, no ears.

Well there's the mutant Kiwi! What's interesting to note, is real-life kiwi females are in fact LARGER then the males & are the dominant ones instead of the other way around. Kiwi were also the dominant "predator" filling in the niche left by the lack of mammals in New Zealand until settlers brought dogs & cats over.

Original Animal Characteristics
Description: Lobsters, or, more specifically, Clawed Lobsters (family Nephropidae) are a group of large decapod crustaceans. Unlike other decapods, lobster generally have poor vision due to the convex retina of their eyes. Their blood is colors, developing a bluish tint when exposed to oxygen. Lobster are notable for molting, a process which occurs differently for each species, and throughout their life cycle. Coloration includes blue, blue-green, calico, dusty orange, green-brown, grey, light yellow, red, yellow, and white. Spots or bi-coloration may also exist.
Size Level: Small Lobster - SL 1, Medium Lobster = SL 2, Large Lobster = SL 6
Height: Small Lobster are about 6 inches (15 cm) long, Medium Lobster are about 9 inches (23 cm) long, and Large Lobster can get up to 3 feet (1 m) long.
Weight: Small Lobster weigh about 1 lbs (500 g), Medium Lobster range from 1.5-2 lbs (600-2200 g), Large Lobster can get up to 44.4 lbs (20.14 kg).
Build: Medium

Looks: None; Decapod crustaceans, particularly lobster are notable for having 19 body segments grouped into two main body parts. The Cephalothorax contains the head (consisting of antennules, antennae, mandibles, and two sets of maxillae, along with two, usually stalked, compound eyes) and the Thorax or Pereon (consisting of three sets of maxillipeds - modified mouth parts, and five sets of pereiopods - walking legs, of which the first set is often referred to as a cheliped, as they have chelae (claws). The Abdomen or Pleon contains the rest of the body, including five pairs of pleopods (swimmerets or swimming legs) and a tail fan which contains a pair of uropods (steering legs), anus and the telson (a segement which acts as a caudal fin).
10 BIO-E for Partial; The pleon shrinks and becomes more tail-like while the rest of the body retains a centauroid appearance (multiple legs), with claws instead of regular hands, a hard carapace, stalked eyes, and manible-style mouth.

Rali wrote:Nightmare Beetles
These insects are the bane of many a traveller who pass through forests and ruins. The Nightmare Beetle is known for burrowing under an unsuspecting, sleeping, or resting traveller and then capturing them in a Mind Trap while directing it's young to feed off the helpless victim. If the victim is able to escape the Mind Trap, the beetle will then surface and attempt to stun (bio-manipulate) it victim while it's young continue their feast. The beetles last line of defence is it's poisonous bite which can cause hallucinations in it's victim, disorienting it long enough to escape or attempt a fresh attack.

Size: Adults grow as large as 3 feet in diameter
Weight: 8 pounds
Speed: 16, 8 burrowing/digging
Hit Points: 2D4
SDC: 3D4+6
Natural Armor: 8
Horror Factor: Individual 8; Swarm 16
Psionics: Mind Trap, Bio-Manipulation: Stun
Attacks Per Melee: 3
Damage: Bite does 1D6+Poison (hallucinogenic, save vs. non-leathal poison; durration 1D12 melees)
Bonuses: +4 save vs. Psionics
Natural Abilities: Rodent Leaping, Digging, Tunneling, Excavation, Poisonous, Hibernation
Average Life Span: 5 years
Value: $400 for the poison gland
Habitat: Woodlands and Ruins. Active only durring warm periods (above 50 degree Fahrenheit (10 degree Celsius)).
Notes: The Nightmare Beetle usually lays 2 dozen eggs at a time which got through four distinctive growth stages over a period of 2 months:
* Eggs: The white oval eggs are usually about 6 inches long and 3 inchs wide. They are placed in fresh carrion where they absorb moisture and become more roundish
* Larvae: The larvae are typical white grubs with a V-shaped series of bristles on the raster. Young larvae are about 8 inches long while the mature third instars are about 14 inches long
* Pupae: The pupae are first cream colored and become light reddish-brown with age. The average pupa is about 18 inches long and 1 foot wide
* Adults: The adults exoskeleton is a deep oily black, generally oval in outline, 3 feet long and 2 feet wide. The abdomen has a row of five tufts of white hairs on each side. These white tufts are diagnostic. The males have a sharp tip on the foreleg tibia while the female has a long rounded tip.
Only the pupae and adult forms of Nightmare Beetles have the ability to Mind Trap, and only the Adult has the ability to use bio-manipulation. The poison gland may be removed as earliy as the larval stage, but the smaller gland will be worth less.

Original Animal Characteristics
Description: This smaller, forest-dwelling relative of the giraffe is notable for the zebra-like stripes on its hind legs and the lack of a long neck. The function of the stripes are still being debated, with the primary school of thought being that the stripes are a way to aid the young in following the mother through the rainforest, another being that the stripes are camouflage. The Okapi only requires 5 minutes of sleep per 24 hours to remain alert.
Okapi typically eat tree leaves and buds, with the occasional grass, ferns, fruit, and fungi.
