STRENGTH 2D
Stamina 12D
Special Abilities:
Jaws: Do STR+1D damage.
Tali-Slap: A blow from the creature’s huge tail does STR+2D damage (speeder scale).
Broach: By hurling itself almost totally clear of the water, a
jer’usk can crash down upon its prey ina punishing impact.
A broach inflicts 5D damage (speeder scale).
Armor: Like the c’oron bel, the jer’usk disposes of excess hyperbarides by depositing the material as crystalline
matter within its thick skin. This material provides +2D protection against physical attacks, but only +2 protection against energy attacks.
Engulf: A jer’usk can swallow whole any single creature of up to Wookiee sized with a successful bite. Rather than
doing damage, the attack engulfs the character. Each turn thereafter, the engulfed victim takes 3D damage (character
scale) from digestive juices; this damage cannot be dodged, although armor ha snormal effects. The character can cut
or blast his way out presuming he has a suitable weapon on hand (a blaster, perhaps, or ideally a vibro weapon or
lightsaber). A jer’usk has no armor protecting its innards. If the character within – entirely on his own – can inflict a wound on the creature, he has cut his way free.
