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!
