 Bestial Human Opossum 

Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, writing by C.H.U.D. and Colin Chapman

Bestial opossums have a bite attack (SV +5, DMG 1d10). Because of their prehensile tail and opposable thumbs on both hands and feet they are expert climbers and have 1d3+1 skill points in the climb skill. They are very resistant to snake venom and make 2 hazard checks against it. If a bestial opossum is caught in a surprise attack or are reduced to below 25% of END there is a 3% they will feign death for 1d4 hours. When they do so, they fall over unmoving, tongue lolling, with foul-smelling green fluid oozing from their anus. Their heart rate and breathing slow and become almost imperceptible, and they become unresponsive to stimuli. Unless a individual encountering them knows of this ability, or performs a quick medical check, the opossum is likely to be taken for dead and diseased or badly rotten. Many predators will avoid eating the rancid-smelling “carcass”, leaving the humanoid opossum alone. Unfortunately, while potentially handy for tricking attackers or avoiding predators, it has the downside that the possum-man cannot revive themselves until 1d4 hours have elapsed, and some predators will eat a corpse however terrible it smells.

Bestial Human Monkey

 

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

Monkey-men are crafty, mischievous omnivores, though they prefer vegetables to meat. They can make a bite attack with their sharp teeth (SV +5/ DMG 1d8) and can be quite vicious. They are covered in a soft, coat of often multi-colored fur and can endure cold weather much better than humans, even without clothing, but prefer warmer climes.

These simians are excellent climbers (add 1d3+2 skill points in climbing), and can climb as swiftly as they can run. They possess long prehensile tails capable of gripping onto things or holding small items such as daggers and knives, and are highly alert (+1 initiative). With their bite, one fist (1d6 DMG) or hand held weapon, and whatever they carry in their tails, they are capable of three melee attacks per round. 

Bestial human monkeys have little difficulty being accepted into human communities if accompanied by humans or mutant humans, and will be viewed as amusing pets with people laughing at their antics and comical faces. Of course, it only takes a prank too far for things to turn ugly.

Bestial Human Komodo Dragon Monitor Lizard

 

Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, writing by Corryn and W. McAusland

There is a chance that this monitor lizard is instead sourced from the largest of their kind, a true monster that is sure to terrorize the populace of any new era town. Such a beast-man will only be allowed admittance if it grew up there, or the leaders of the community permit the hulking specimen to roam their streets on promises of the best behavior. On a roll of 10, on a 1d10, any monitor lizard bestial human is actually hybridized with a Komodo Dragon. If so, it will have these stats instead of those shown on page XR-58: END +35, STR +15, AG+10, INT 1d20+5, Will +22, PER +19, APP 3+d8, DV -20, Weight 100+d100kg, Height/Length 175+2d100 tail is 50% of body length.

Komodo dragon bestials can add a claw attack at +10 SV doing 1d12 damage, their tail slap on up to three closely packed, separate targets at its rear or either side is SV +14 for 1d20+4 stun damage, while its massive bite inflicts a SV +18 and does 1d20 lethal damage plus venom.

Bestial Human Monitor Lizard

Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, writing by Corryn and W. McAusland

These lizard bestial humans have a tough time getting admitted into a human settlement, and unless arriving with known humans, cyborgs or mutant humans, will be turned away at gunpoint. Even when admitted entry, often with a bribe of 30+3d6sp slipped to the guards, the monitor lizard must remain confined to the unit’s quarters and will not be allowed into any saloon, store or eatery. The reason for this animosity, which exceeds even that shown to bestial human gators, is because of the long-standing feud with reptilius and other lizard based humanoids. Common people, who have usually only heard frightening tales of the murderous raids by reptilius, cannot tell this character apart from the notorious — although much smaller — mutant lizard folk of the swamp.

Bestial Human Mole

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

With their velvety fur, tiny eyes, squat builds, and overlarge shovel-like hands, bestial human moles are inoffensive, but this belies the fact that they are aggressive, constantly hungry omnivores who prefer a diet of meat.

They can make a bite attack (SV +8/ DMG 1d8 + Type A, paralysis venom) as well as use one-handed weapons, and unlike other bestial humans of their size, their over-large, calloused hands deliver normal punching damage, though they prefer to use their tough claws (SV +10/ DMG 1d8), and can combine them with their bite in a single flurry of attacks (SV +20/ DMG 3d8+venom). They are too small to use large two handed weapons such as halberds, pikes, chainsaws, battle axes, or great swords, or other sizable weapons though. Furthermore, firing a shotgun or high caliber rifle in the standing position will knock them back 1d3 meters onto their rump.
