"description":"One glance easily identifies a bigoon as a giant, mutated raccoon.The creature is well over two meters tall (old males being known to reach three or more meters in length, nose to tail). The bigoons teeth are very much enlarged, and it bites for 4 dice (4d6) of damage. The creature also has heightened strength to complement its native intelligence and cunning. Despite its increased size and strength, the bigoon has lost none of the manipulative dexterity of its small progenitor. The hand-sized forepaws of a bigoon are quite nimble and can be used to open simple closures and latches. The bigoon is a nocturnal hunter and has infravisual capabilities. When hungry, a bigoon attacks virtually anything, but the creature is prone to ignore other creatures if well fed, unless its curiosity is aroused. A well-fed bigoon has been known to playfully knock down a passing human in order to tear open a carried sack. Fortunately, a blow from a bigoon's forepaw does only 1d6 of damage. A lone bigoon is usually a rogue male. If three or more are encountered, they are likely to be a mother and her immature young. Bigoons are all capable of climbing trees sturdy enough to hold their weight."
"description":"Buggems are bipedal (standing between 150-200 centimeters) and have only two arms. Their bloated abdomen and thorax are connected to a large head complete with long, fern-like antennae and broad mandibles. When attacking, Buggems either strike with their two claws and bite, or they can use a crude weapon such as an axe, sword, or mace. When using a weapon the creatures can also bite. These termite men live within nests made up of a myriad of burrowed passages and chambers. Due to the lack of light in the buggem nests, the creatures have developed heightened senses that allow them to see in the dark. Buggem nests are found in almost all climes and are easily recognizable by the prominent mound of dirt formed over the opening into their chambers. Appearing in one creature out of twenty, the Buggems first mutation is that of gas generation. Several different types of gas are possible with varying probability of appearance. The types and associated probability are: <table><thead><td><b>Die Roll</b></td><td><b>Gas</b></td></thead><tbody><tr><td>1-40</td><td>Opaque Gas</td></tr><tr><td>41-80</td><td>Caustic Gas</td></tr><tr><td>81-100</td><td>Poison Gas</td></tr></tbody></table> Each mutated Buggem is able to generate only one type of gas, and may use this ability only three times per day. Each generation fills a five meter by five meter area and lasts for five minutes or less depending upon the strength of the prevailing winds (if any). Opaque gas forms a billowing, harmless cloud, thick, white, and impenetrable to normal vision. Caustic gas is an acidic vapor that burns all within its area of effect for 1-6 points of damage per round. In addition, all individuals affected fight and defend at a penalty of -3. Poison gas is a colorless, odorless cloud of lethal vapor (intensity 3-18, roll for each mutated Buggem with this ability). All Buggems are immune to any of the gases effects. The second mutation is more rare, occurring in only 1% of the species. Telepaths are able to communicate with any member of their hive regardless of distance or physical obstruction. They direct all important actions taken in their nests, allowing a degree of intelligence to enter into their lesser brothers actions. In addition, these biological freaks use archaic weaponry such as blasters, lasers, and death ray projectors whenever such advanced weapons are available."
"description":"<span class='nickname'>Gamma Moths</span> This mutated gypsy moth often grows to 1 meter in length [with a 2 meter wingspan]. It is fearless and quite carnivorous.

"description":"<span class='nickname'>Big Walkers</span> Standing 2 meters high at the shoulder, this mutated Percheron is heavily-muscled and can carry 5 times its PS for long distances without tiring. It is surprisingly agile considering it's 1,000 kilograms of bulk. Brutorz willingly serve as riding, pack, and dray animals if well-treated, but will turn on a cruel master."
"description":"<span class='nickname'>Cloud Worms</span> These 3 meter long, carnivorous, winged worms have a 9 meter wingspan. Blights secrete a substance which bends light, causing them to be invisible wherever their skin is coated with the substance. Rain will wash the oil away and takes a full day to replenish the protective coating in such cases. Blights are completely resistant to weapons involving radiation, heat, or sonic effects. Their preferred method of attack is to wrap themselves around a victim, constricting and biting (counts as 1 action, but is resolved as two separate attacks)."

"description":"These 2.5 meter tall Humanoids have two heads, each controlling part of the body, and four arms (two controlled by each head). All Orlens have 1 extra Mental Mutation per head. They have all the benefits of a Dual Brain and often use their superior powers in this regard to modify equipment to fit their unique anatomy. Orlens carry Tech Levels I and II equipment and at least one artefact. They are peaceful by nature."
"description":"<span class='nickname'>Sword Beetles</span> This 3-meter long mutated beetle is a ruthless carnivore, killing with the 4 sword-like appendages attached to each of its 2 antennae. Each antenna does 3d6 damage and they are such effective weapons that 3 is added to the die roll when the Parn tries to hit anything with them. <span class='house-note'>HOUSE NOTE: this is an ATTACK modifier, not a damage modifier</span>. The Parn may attack once with each antenna per Action Turn. In addition, the Parn may cast up to 2 of its spines a distance of 60 meters each Action Turn. Spines that hit do 2d6 damage. Each parn antenna is Armor Class 5 and can absorb 18HP of damage (in addition to those affecting the Parn itself). Players may strike at the antennae, trying to destroy them, or they may attack the Parn normally (announce which they will do before rolling to hit)."
"description":"<span class='nickname'>Gamma Bushes</span> This 2 meter tall palm-like bush is unremarkable for most of the year, but in late spring and early summer, it sprouts a 1 meter tall flower. If the plant is disturbed, this flower glows for one Action Turn, emitting a bright rainbow-colored light. The next Action Turn it emits a blast of Intensity Level 3d6 radiation affecting those within 15 meters. Each Action Turn for 2d6 Turns afterward (or until destroyed), the flower alternates emitting bright light and 3d6 Intensity Level radiation (deterimine Intensity level again for each blast). On any Action Turn that it suffers new damage, the Perth emits 1d4 blasts of either light or radiation (depending on the turn). The flower of a newly-dead Perth may be sun-dried and ground into 20 grams of <b>healing powder</b>, each gram of which heals 1d4 points of damage within an hour of being ingested. It takes 3 days of sunlight to dry the flower."
"description":"<span class='nickname'>Horse Cactus</span> This mutated thornbush is neither a horse, nor is it a type of cactus. Its horizontal trunk and thick legstalks do give it an equine appearance, increased by the way the Pineto dips its roots to take in water (much like a horse lowering its head to drink). The comparison to the cactus arises because of the sharp thorns entirely covering the plant. These thorns make it impossible to ride the plant without a saddle. A sharp prod is kept jammed into the sensitive root clump to control the Pineto when riding. Pinetos have keen visual and olfactory organs in this clump that warn them of the approach of strangers, and allow them to flee. Few have ever been caught or tamed."
"description":"These huge mutated mastiffs can be ridden by man-sized characters. In a wild state, they often hunt human prey in savage but somewhat cowardly packs. Podogs are immune to all poison. There is a 1% chance that a particular podog will be a prize-breed (having a <b>Dual Brain</b> and <b>Telepathy</b>). When excited by combat or the hunt, a podog will bay in such a way as to exactly mimic sounds made by its opponent or prey. Podog packs normally consist of a mated pair and half the pups from each previous litter. Podogs throw one litter of 1d4+2 pups per year for 1d12 years. [HOUSE NOTE: It seems ridiculous not to include a claw attack with an animal like this. Therefore: one front claw can sometimes be used for a slashing attack. 1d6 damage. Either claw or bite, per Action Turn, but not both.]"
"description":"These slow but powerful mutated oxen sport a tough cluster of eight forward-pointing horns with which they may gore one target per Action Turn. They will tend to charge when frightened, doing triple damage on successful charge attacks. Although stupid and nervous by nature, their great strength makes them the most popular draft animal on the post holocaust American continent. <span class='house-note'>HOUSE NOTE: I have added 'trample' as a potential attack. MUCH more deadly, but this attack is only invoked if a spooked herd tramples the party.</span>"
"description":"<span class='nickname'>Land Shark</span> The Sep is a mutated shark, fully adapted to life on land (no longer suited to ocean living). Seps come in two varieties: The Sand Sep (found only in deserts) and its less common Arctic cousin, the Snow Sep, which migrates south into the Great Lakes area with the winter snowpack. Both types have an organ in their brain which allows them to telekinetically push sand, snow, and loose earth out of their path. They use this ability to 'swim' beneath the surface of the earth or snow, leaping into the air to snatch prey in their strong jaws and then pulling the victim beneath the surface when it is dead. Typically, Seps attack while moving, snapping at their victim as they rush by and diving under the surface again when the attack is finished. In this way, they will attack from a different direction every other Action Turn. Seps sense sound and motion up to 60 meters away (even when submerged)."
"description":"<span class='nickname'>Thought Masters</span> These humanoids have claws instead of fingernails and can make 2 claw attacks per Action Turn for 1d4 damage each. Each successful claw attack exposes the victim to Intensity Level 8 poison. Serfs are semi-nomadic and live in quasi-military clans, wearing ancient police and military uniforms as clan symbols. Serfs prefer Mental Combat to Physical Combat (90% chance that each attack they make will be a Mental Attack). They carry tech level II equipment (including weapons and armour). A large Serf clan will be organized as a 'brigade' of 5d20+50 troops led by a 'general' who holds power by strength and cunning."
"description":"This 30-meter tall aquatic plant is usually found among peaceful groups of Narl Eps, which it resembles. Between 2 and 3 meters of the stalk extends above the water as a socket for the seroon lou's single eyeball. The plant will grip any handy weapons (including rocks, clubs, etc.) and will use them to attack. This carnivore feeds by dragging victims underwater where it's roots can enter and absorb them. <span class='house-note'>HOUSE NOTE: I have added grappling as an attack. Player who is the target of a grapple, must roll a dexterity check to see if he escapes being entangled. While entangled, the seroon lou gets a +1 to hit against the entangled player, for attacks with gripped weapons.</span>"

"description":"<span class='nickname'>Seer Lizard</span> These highly intelligent mutated lizards walk erect, have manipulative hand-like appendages on their front legs, and tend to congregate in small, peaceful, scholarly communities. Each will have one non-defect, non-species Mental Mutation. All Sleeths are immune to illusions and can negate Force Fields within 30 meteres of them. Sleeths will always (90% chance) befriend travellers, providing whatever assistance necessary."
"description":"<span class='nickname'>Skeeters</span> This flightless, mutated mosquito grows to 1.5 meters in length. It inhabits grasslands, marshes, and forests where it can easily hide. Its 2-meter long, coiled feeding tube does 1d6 damage when jammed into a (preferably sleeping) victim and victims must check for exposure to Intensity Level 18 paralytic poison. The Soul Besh does double damage to paralyzed victims, drinking their blood for sustenance. The exoskeleton of the Soul Besh may be boiled down into 15 does (10cc each) of Intensity Level 18 poison antidote."
"description":"<span class='nickname'>King Rats</span> These mutated Norway rats are 5 times the size of their non-mutated cousins, growing to a length of over a meter. They hunt in packs and are fond of the flesh of <b><em>Pure Strain Humans</em></b>. <span class='house-note'>HOUSE NOTE: Both claws count as one Action Turn. Bite counts as one Action Turn.</span>"
"description":"<span class='nickname'>Tree Fish</span> This 3-meter long mutated barracuda is covered in bright feathers, and lives in trees. It's power of flight is the result of it's mutations, not it's feathers. It returns to the water only to spawn in the spring, though it is fully capable of breathing either water or air and can live in both. This dangerous carnivore uses its mental powers to kill its prey, resorting to its bite only as a last resort. If both bite and mental powers fail, it will retreat to find easier game. The Terl's feathers protect it against heat and lasers and are sensitive to the presence of radiation, warning it of exposure."

"description":"<span class='nickname'>Devo Beasts</span> This 1-meter tall humanoid is covered in thick, silky blonde fur. They are solitary by nature and tend to live in inaccessible forests and mountains. Wardents have a compulsive hunger for food, knowledge, and odd experiences, and will readily join in an adventure which promises any two of these. They carry a mix of Tech Level II and III equipment, including 1d4 artefacts. Contrary to popular legend, there is no evidence that Wardents ever mated with Sleeths."

"description":"<span class='nickname'>Tanglers</span> This carnivorous plant usually covers a 30-meter diameter area and grows in groups which are so entangled that it is difficult to tell where one plant begins and another leaves off. There are two varieties of Win Seen: the <b>Yellow Win Seen</b> that lives in shallow water, and the <b>Green Win Seen</b> that dwells on land. The land-dwelling type gives off an odor that encourages carnivore to live nearby and has primitive <b>Magnetic Control</b>. Both types may be chopped up and boiled into 10 (10cc) doses of Intensity Level 14 poison antidote."
"description":"<span class='nickname'>Borer Beetles</span> These orange beetles only attain a length of 30 centimeters, but are among the most feared denizens of the Gamma World. They will attack anything regardless of size, spitting an Intensity Level 16 paralytic contact poison up to 6 meters. Victims must make a poison check each Action Turn for each drop of poison which previously hit them and has not been washed off. Zarns can teleport up to 60 meters once per Action Turn and usually do so immediately after each attack. Zarns usually bore into the skulls of paralyzed victims (2d6 damage) and lay 1d12+4 eggs inside which hatch within 48 hours unless surgically removed. Newly hatched Zarns immediately devour their eggs and all surrounding tissue. Zarn poison remains in effect for 1d4 hours."
"description":"<span class='nickname'>Orange Scarfers</span> This flying creature of unknown origin has a 9-meter wingspan and stands 3 meters tall on 2 hairy hind legs. I has human hands attached to its shapely wings and a lion-like head with large mandibles. It is entirely covered in long, soft, orange down. Yexils are slow-witted, but friendly. Their size and ability to shoot a laser blast from their eyes (24-meter range and 5d6 damage) discourage predators. Yexils are immune to old attacks. They eat manufactured clothing of all types and find synthetics especially tasty. In fact, the snappier the outfit, the better Yexils like the taste. They will often trade 'worthless' artefacts for 'food' of this type."
"description":"<span class='nickname'>Gamma Grass</span> This purple grass is easily identifiable in summer by its long tassels topped by spiked seeds. When one or more warm-blooded entities are within 30 meters of this grass, the individual stalks will each try to teleport 25% of their seeds into the bodies of the entities. Seed which miss vaporize instantly. Those that enter the body do 2d6 damage immediately and secrete a Dissolving Juice that does an extra 1d4 damage per day for 7 days (after which they die if the victim is still alive). Damage caused by seeds can't heal until the seeds are dead. If the host dies while infected, the seeds cause Zeethh to sprout from his body within an hour and the blades grow tassels within 3 days. Teleported seeds are replaced at the rate of 1 per day. If more than one target is in range of a Zeethh field, the grass attacks everyone in range impartially."
