bLighT The air shifts. Where nothing stood before, now you can see a hulking wormlike creature with insect wings. The Blight, or Cloud Worm, is a giant flying worm with the ability to turn invisible. It strikes from above and drags its prey in the sky to devour it. When a blight appears, the air ripples with blinding light.

11
BruTorz Powerful and yet agile, this mutated horse’s eyes gleam with intellect. The brutorz are intelligent horses. Despite their bulk and size, brutorz are quick and agile. They communicate through telepathy, and are impossible to domesticate. However, sometimes a brutorz chooses a worthy rider and agrees to bear him on his back. This is an honor few have been able to claim. BRUTORZ Large Beast Armor Class: 15 (natural armor) Hit Points: 60 (8d10 + 16) Speed: 40 ft.

12
Dabber The bipedal raccoon, his suit filled with pieces from scavenged technology and robotic components, gives you a wide smile and points to his wares.

GaLLUs GaLLUs This bipedal chicken wields a firearm in its hands. Though it has feathers, most of its body is covered in a camouflage patterned uniform. Created by a computerized factory, gallus galluses are man-‐sized chickens. They have no wings, instead sporting arms ending with three-‐fingered hands.

GreN Although it looks like a human with green skin, this creature is dressed in strange clothes and wields a bow. Grens are a humanoid race from another dimension. They loathe advanced technology, and are suspicious of anyone bearing Ancient Gear. Grens usually dwell in forested areas.

herp This horrid bug has been chasing you for hours; perhaps it’s better to kill it while you have some energy left. Herps are carnivorous mutated beetle.

17
Hoop An 8-‐feet tall humanoid rabbit, armed with a scavenged gun, stands before you. Hoops are mutated rabbits. They are tall, strong and cunning.

They prize Ancient Gear and technology above all else. HOOP, SOLDIER Medium Humanoid (mutant) Armor Class: 16 (light armor) Hit Points: 39 (6d8 + 12) Speed: 30 ft.

hopper Despite its size and fearsome horns, this giant rabbit looks incredibly shy. Hoppers, also known as jackalopes, are timid creatures. Despite their bulk, it takes nothing to scare them away. In the past, some have tried to train hoppers as mounts: bad choice, since their sudden leaps almost always end up killing the rider. HOPPER Large Beast Armor Class: 15 (natural armor) Hit Points: 52 (7d10 + 14) Speed: 40 ft. Ability Scores: Str 12 (+1); Dex 18 (+4); Con 14 (+2); Int 1 (-‐5); Wis 14 (+2); Cha 6 (-‐2) Skills: Perception +4, Stealth +6 Senses: Darkvision 60 ft.; Passive Perception 14 Challenge 3 (700 XP) (usually flees when confronted) Traits: ✇ Hard Ride.

PiNeTo This large moving cactus vaguely resembles a horse. Pinetos are mobile horse-‐shaped cacti. They gather in the deserts, making weird piping noises to communicate with their herd. Much like other animals, pinetos drink from ponds and rivers by dipping their “head” into the water.

poDoG This huge, ferocious-‐looking mongrel is more than able to chew your head off. Podogs are large mutated carnivorous canines. They are quite intelligent, strong, and if trained properly can become extremely loyal steeds. When this happens, they establish a telepathic link with their rider. The most unnerving ability of a podog is its baying, which can perfectly replicate another creature’s voice and sounds. PODOG Large Beast Armor Class: 12 Hit Points: 60 (8d10 + 16) Speed: 40 ft.

Sep Similar to a crossbreed between a shark and a mole, this large beast “swims” through solid ground.
