Rather than disperse toxins and contaminants into the environment, The Ancients experimented upon verminous lagomorphs with bizarre chemicals and serums so as to control their populations...

...BUT THE RESULTING LEAPING, LETHAL LEPORINES ESCAPED INTO THE WILD, PROVING INFINITELY DEADLIER THAN ANY POISON!!!

Glutbunnies are nocturnal, over-sized rabbits that average 4' tall at the shoulder and 150-200 lbs.  While they look utterly harmless—and, honestly, outright adorable—their sheer numbers and all-consuming appetites make them feared throughout the Mutant Future.

Growling and snarling glutbunnies bound across the badlands and plains, devouring all vegetable and animal life they encounter.  A single specimen can bring down a standard horse or bull with ease...which means a pack can overrun and slaughter a herd of livestock in seconds.  Glutbunnies even gnaw and rend their way into vehicles, ruins, fortified buildings, and sealed bunkers to feast on stockpiles of Ancient processed foodstuffs...and any terrified occupants who happen to be huddling within.

While capable of digging elaborate tunnel networks, glutbunnies usually make their warrens in areas previously carved out by The Ancients:  abandoned mines, subway tunnels, skyscraper basements, etc.  50% of any glutbunnies encountered in their lairs during the day will be active and ready for combat, and these defenders get a +1 to all To Hit and Morale Rolls.

Glutbunny fur comes in a variety colors and patterns, and the creatures' hides are valued by tanners, clothiers, and traders.  And many rural communities pay bounties for glutbunny carcasses.

    They're about the size of a 28mm scale war dog.

  3. @Mr. Tim: 8 down...23 more entries to go!

    @Mr. Blu: You, sir, are a man of distinction and taste.

    @Mr. Trey: I could barely contain my glee with each and every screenshot. So cute, indeed!

    @Mr. Legion: I have a veritable mountain of HorrorClix. The game never got the attention it deserved.

  5. This is amazing. Movies I have never heard of and possibly even my husband who was the night sysop for a cable company has never heard of. Excellent! Here from the Halloween countdown.

  6. @eltf177: Bad?!!! You misspelled AWESOME. Those 2 hours were gold, I say...gold!

    @Ms JyllianM: Thank you for stopping by! It does my heart good to know that these maligned movies are getting exposure. (I just hope the role-playing game aspects aren't too arcane.)
