Bestial Human Fly


Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, writing by Colin Chapman


Of all the bug-humans, the bestial humanoid fly is the most repugnant, considered even more repellent than man-cockroaches. This disgust is with good reason too; not only are humanoid-flies truly ugly, but they defecate constantly, buzz loudly, and possess truly vile eating habits, vomiting and drooling on food to pre-digest it before eating. That they also favor decaying organic matter such as feces for their diet simply adds an extra layer of disgust to a creature already considered grossly unappealing.


 Even the most tolerant of trading towns will refuse them entry 90% of the time, and when they are accepted they must still pay a hefty entrance fee ahead of time (40+2d12sp) along with a promise to avoid public places and especially avoid eating in public.

Bestial Human Duck

Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, writing by Colin Chapman


Humanoid ducks can fly with their wing-arms (20m per round), using their misshapen hands, which protrude from their wings, to either drop ordinance or employ a one handed weapon. They can use a bow, rifle or other two-handed weapon while in the air, but must bring their wings close together, stop flapping and drop at a rate of 10m per round, so typically try to get plenty of elevation before initiating this risky tactic.


 Typically, a humanoid duck will avoid a melee fight with heavier boned, larger foes and instead fly up out of enemy reach and perch some place high to fire down on its adversaries.

Bestial Human Chicken



Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, writing by Colin Chapman & Blood Axe


Among the most widespread bird-men around, bestial human chickens owe their survival and success to their huge numbers before the apocalypse, their social nature, a truly varied diet, stubbornness, and the aggression of the roosters.
 Seeds, rodents, bugs, lizards, they will literally try their hand at eating anything remotely edible, and are equipped with sharp beaks (SV +7/ DMG 1d10). Roosters have sharp claws and spurs and use them in a leaping flurry of kicks (SV +15/ DMG 1d20) which they can do every third round. No small number have become gladiators, lending a whole new spin to the old sport of cockfighting. 1 in 6 NPC bestial human chickens are roosters, although as player characters, the player decides their sex.

Bestial Human Chameleon



Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, writing by Colin Chapman


Slow moving but patient, bestial human chameleons eat meat, particularly enjoying bug meat, whether from a sapient foe or otherwise. They use their ability to change color to blend into their surroundings (see skills, ‘conceal self’ or ‘concealed movement’ as skill point 4 on page 51 of the hub rules) when near naked, and have effective bites (SV+7/ DMG 1d10).


Their tongues can be shot once every two rounds, out to four times their own height and on a strike adhere to a target. The target need not be a smaller food animal; instead it could be a passing vehicle or large animal, an enemy’s hand held weapon, or the ceiling of a structure. In every case, a successful strike must be made with the projectile tongue being SV +10, doing only 1d6 stun damage on a strike, but allowing the chameleon to pull smaller creatures which weigh less than itself to its mouth.

Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, Writing by Colin Chapman



Centipedoids are truly voracious predators and will willingly attack and devour any animal that looks like it can be easily overcome, intelligent or otherwise. Because they are swift, aggressive, poison-armed carnivores, humans hate them. Only by being accompanied by more human appearing individuals, promising to stay in the team’s quarters, and by paying guards a bribe (40+2d20sp) will they be allowed into a human settlement. In most cases, any militia will simply attack them.

Man-centipedes are equipped with poisonous forcipules, modified front limbs just under the head that can deliver a terrible sting. This attack is SV +10/ DMG 1d12+1, and injects a Type A death poison. It produces enough poison to inject victims 6 times in a 24-hour period.

Bestial Human Butterfly


Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, Writing by Colin Chapman




While most other bug-humans are shunned by human communities, if not actively reviled or hunted, the bestial humanoid butterfly enjoys at least some acceptance. Although no bug-human can claim to be truly beautiful, the humanoid butterfly has the benefit of large, elegant, brightly patterned wings to help offset its inhuman appearance. Combined with its herbivorous diet, lack of natural weapons, and unpalatable nature, it is not seen as a threat or a potential meal.

Bestial Human Beetle




Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, Writing by Colin Chapman


Heavily-armored with a tough carapace, humanoid beetles are cumbersome compared to other bug-humans, even for those that can fly, and this leads many individuals to erroneously assume they are also even more dim-witted than other bug-humans. This fallacy, together with the fact that many beetles are herbivores and sometimes sport attractive metallic or patterned exoskeletons, means that these bestial humans are marginally better regarded by humans than most other bug-humans.
