====== Example Monsters ======

These are Monsters put together by the GMs to give you an idea of what sort of thing might be possible - they are unlikely to actually appear in the game.

===== Anchorage - Part-Shipping Vessel, Part-Behemoth =====

**Monster Name:** Anchorage

**Size:** Enormous (+2)\\
**Smarts:** Dull (0)\\
**Speed:** Slow (-1)\\
**Stamina:** Lethargic (-2)\\
**Strength:** Mighty (+1)\\

**Strengths:**
  * Armoured - Shipping Containers that are growing out of its back
  * Smashing - A swing of its MASSIVE ANCHOR is sure to break the bones of any foe

**Weaknesses:**
  * Anaesthetic Resistant - feeble drugs have no effect on Anchorage's oily blood
  * Weak Point - Anchorage can only turn left

**Description:**\\
Anchorage is an enormous reptilian Monster that is fused with a shipping freighter - nobody knows how or why the two have fused, but their symbiosis is to be feared: the toughness of metal combined with the strength of a reptile of behemothic proportions, and the smell of the sea wherever it steps.

**Public Bio:**
ANCHORAGE is what happens when SEA meets MONSTER.  One Part Shipping Freighter, One Part Behemoth, All Parts DEADLY.

===== Mutasaurus Rex - Constantly Morphing Radioactive Giant =====

**Monster Name:** Mutasaurus Rex

**Size:** Big (0)\\
**Smarts:** Stupid (-1)\\
**Speed:** Slow (-1)\\
**Stamina:** Relentless (+2)\\
**Strength:** Strong (0)\\

**Strengths:**
  * Evolving - It's always changing. Maybe it'll change even more some day!
  * Armoured - Not so much armour as growing protective or sacrificial parts midway through fights
  * Tough - Wounds heal faster than you'd think when you're constantly changing shape

**Weaknesses:**
  * Ugly - Does it have six heads or just three? Are those eyes or feet? How am I going to get fans when I can't even draw it on a poster?
  * Bad Tempered - Oh boy does Mutasaurus get angry fast. One minute it's perfectly fine, the next it's spitting teeth - and I mean literally.
  * Berserker - Only one thing worse than an angry Monster: an angry Monster who has unbounded reserves of energy.

**Description:**\\
Mutasaurus Rex is one of those Monsters that's hard to pin down, mostly because it's one shape when the Fight starts, and a different one when it ends. Possibly mutating due to radiation, or other weird Monster magic, it knows only one thing: it hates the world and everything in it.

**Public Bio:**
Come see the ever-changing MUTASAURUS REX! Will it have SIX LEGS this fight or GIANT RENDING CLAWS to tear apart its opponents? WHO CAN SAY! Find out TONIGHT!

=====Glitterbug, a Prancing Pest=====

**Monster Name:** Glitterbug

**Size:** Tiny (-2)\\
**Smarts:** Sharp (+1)\\
**Speed:** Fast (+2)\\
**Stamina:** Tenacious (0)\\
**Strength:** Weedy (-1)\\

**Strengths:**
  * Elusive - Moves too quickly to track
  * Shiny - Extremely  sparkly, like a disco ball!
  * Well-Behaved

**Weaknesses:**
  * Fragile - Very easy to fracture
  * Mysterious
  * Unconventional - Distracts enemies by dancing

**Description:**\\
Small, obnoxious, and usually in its opponent's way, Glitterbug is what must have happened when mosquitoes developed a sense of style. With a combination of dazzling disco ball effects and rapid, dance-like movements, Glitterbug makes up for its physical weaknesses by looking very pretty and being very hard to hit.

**Public Bio:**\\
An energetic newcomer to the Arena, Glitterbug may be small but it should not be underestimated!
