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.

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."

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.

Either claw or bite, per Action Turn, but not both.]"
