Xenoglade

Vitals

Habits

• Crawling through a vent, making soft skittering sounds
• Bashing its head into a metal door, trying to sink its fangs into a hiding cat-like beast
• Uncurling from the pipes above the bulkhead, right behind you…

Attacks

• Bite, 2d12 damage.
• Claws, d8 damage.
• Each round, A xenoglade can attack with both its bite and claws

Powers

• Acidic blood (passive) – Every melee attack against a xeno causes the attacker 2d4 damage plus burn 2.
• Backstab CRB110
• Melting spit (standard) – A xeno can burn 6 GRT to destroy an attacker’s weapon (not simply knock it away).
• Slay CRB111
• Vanish CRB101

Gear

• Xenoglades have no gear, and their corpses are both dangerous and worthless. Theoretically, however, you could very carefully drain the acidic blood from a skull, bleach it to preserve it (otherwise, the chitin degrades into a noxious purple-gray mold), and sell it to a curio collector on-Spin for at least 4d30 gl.

Story notes

Xenos exist only to devour and reproduce. They cannot be reasoned with. A xeno will not kill an opponent reduced to 0 HEA but use their body to incubate a single larva.
