Background
The Gen-Ka is a
predator native to the sixth planet of the Tarawa-5 system. It is
a fairly large, worm-like creature. It has a brownish-pink
segmented body, a large, fanged mouth, and four tentacles towards
it's front end. Each tentacle is 2 to 3 meters long and has a
Strength of 40. Each is also covered with chitinous barbs. The
creature's skin secretes a strange, foul-odored oily substance.
The smell emitted from this can cause intense sickness ( Roll a
Chemical SMR or vomit for 3D20 seconds, if within 10m ). This
substance provides the Gen-Ka with protection against acids,
fire, cold, and grappling attacks ( which suffer a -20 to
maintain holds ).
Nature of
the Encounter
The only tactic
really used by the Gen-Ka is to track it's prey via ground
vibrations ( 200m radius, 98% chance ). Once ready, it will burst
through the ground, gaining initiative against those who fail an
Aggression check ( with a +5 bonus ). It will then attack the
closest target with all four tentacles and it's bite. If all five
attacks hit, the target is considered grabbed ( Treat as a Body
Hold, Strength -65 to break free ). The Gen-ka will retreat
underground with it's prey, move 10-20 m away, and coil it's body
around the victim, inflicting 1D10+9 points of temporary damage
every three seconds. Once the victim is unconscious, the Gen-Ka
will drag him back to it's lair to feed.
Habitat
The Gen-Ka is a
subterranean creature, found mainly in grassy plains, but they
are sometimes found under light forests. They dwell in small,
self-made caverns that reek ( Chemical SMR, with failure
resulting in such intense sickness that the victim is
incapacitated for the duration of exposure +10D6 minutes after ),
and are littered with bones.
Mind of the Beast
I hear you. I will crush your bones
and devour your flesh.
