Thanu
Appearance
Thanu
Type: Carnivorous volcano dweller
Planet of Origin: Kamur
DEXTERITY 3D
PERCEPTION 1D+2
STRENGTH 2D
Special Abilities:
- Heat Immunity: Thanus are extremely resistant to heat (giving them a +1D bonus addes to their Strength when resisting blster damage) and can travel across any solid surface, regardless of temperature.
- Tentacles: Thanu tentacles do damage equal to the Strength of the thanu. In addition, when a thanu makes a successful tentacle attack, its target must make a Moderate Dexterity roll to avoid being entangled by the tentacle. Characters who fail this roll suffer no additional damage, but during every following round, they must make a Strength roll that is equal to or greater than the roll made by the thanu, or they will be pulled into its mouth. If the character’s Strength roll is more than 10 points higher than that of the thanu, then the character has completely escaped from its grasp.
- Teeth: The teeth of the thanu (which have evolved to crush both silicavores and the rocks that they have consumed) do STR+2D damage. As with the tentacles, the character must make a Strength roll 10 or more points higher than the thanu to escape its mouth.
