Deep within the frigid earth, strange creatures have been sealed away since the time of The Ancients...
...and now they've broken out...
...AND THEY'RE HUNGRY!!!
The boogens are subterranean beasts the size of hogs that dwell deep within mines and natural caves, but they surface (often burrowing up through the floors of residences) when deprived of food. They possess squat, round bodies encased in hard carapaces, toothy maws, and multiple flailing tentacles.
Of a boogen's tentacles, the front 4 end in piercing spikes, and they can lash targets up to 15' away. If any 2 tentacles successfully strike the same target in the same round, said target is grappled and drawn into the boogen's mouth for an automatic biting attack.
The boogens take only half damage from melee weapons and conventional firearms.
Mutations: Echolocation, Extra Parts (Tentacles), Increased Caloric Needs [D], Natural Armor (Extreme), Reflective Epidermis (Cold)
Nice to see the Boogens get a shout-out.
ReplyDeleteWould you believe, Mr. Trey, that I actually mulled over who amongst my readers had even heard of 'The Boogens' (and much less saw it)?
ReplyDeleteAnd would you believe that you were on that very, very short list?
You're clearly a man of taste and distinction!
Commercials for this freaked me out as a kid.
ReplyDeleteWatched my new DVD last night, loved this movie in the 80s!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun little flick. And the monsters are awesome.
ReplyDeleteNot to be nit-pickey but their bodies are squishy like a brain (and were actually sculpted based on sheep's brains) and they only have two arms that are clawed. The other two are just like the two main arms of a squid. I have pictures of the Boogens that the fx artist that made them for the film sent me. Lol
