Willawaws are bloated, bioluminescent owls that thunderously rocket through the skies.  They Dive [p. 58 of the Mutant Future Core Rules] more often than not, and carry off quarry on To Hit rolls of 16+.

Willawaws are psychically attuned to all avians (normal, mutant, and humanoid) in their territory, and see and hear at will through the birds' senses.  And if a linked creature screeches a PCs name in an approximation of human speech, said PC is invariably the willawaw's next victim!  Legend says that anyone who observes a willawaw in flight also becomes a target.

Willawaws are hoarders, and stockpile artifacts, objets d'art, and junk.  Their cave-iaries are overstuffed with their prey's loot, and that acquired by their otusoid minions [see below].

Otusoids are stocky, flightless owl-men that unwaveringly procure fresh meat and treasure for their willawaw masters.  They are master hunters, trackers, and scavengers, and being immune to all fear-based effects and mutations, unrelentingly storm domiciles and strongholds in pursuit of their quarry.

Left to their own devices, otusoids are creepy, dead-eyed voyeurs that never, ever blink.

"What's Nuked, Scooby-Doomsday?" — Space-Ape

Space-Ape

No. Enc.:  1 (1d4)
Alignment:  Neutral
Movement:  270' (90')
Armor Class:  5
Hit Dice:  11
Attacks:  3 (2 claws, 1 bite)
Damage:  1d10 / 1d10 / 1d6
Save:  L6
Morale:  9
Hoard Class:  None
XP:  2,800

The feral space-apes are extraterrestrial, 7'-tall bipeds with slick, purple hides mottled with neon green. They sport wicked claws that inject a Class 15 poison; victims suffer severe allergic reactions marked by an outbreak of green nodules, and catatonia.  Effects last for 1d8 days with a failed Saving Throw Vs Poison, or 3d6 hours with success.  Space-apes can outrun Ancient automobiles.

Space-apes hatch from 6" eggs found in rocks procured off-world, or that fall to earth on meteoroids.  The tiny, brachiating hatchlings promptly enlarge to 2'-tall, and are frighteningly spry with AC 2, HD 3, Movement 210' (70'), Damage 1d6 / 1d6 / 1d4, and a diminished toxicity of Poison Class 8.  They reach adulthood in a mere 24 hours.

Interestingly, adult space-apes suffer from vertigo, and avoid heights (any altitudes 20' above ground) at all possible.

Mutations:  Fear GenerationToxic Weapon (Venom)












Inspired by What's New, Scooby-Doo? episode #3, "Space Ape At The Cape" (2002).

"What's Nuked, Scooby-Doomsday?" — Scarebear

Scarebear

No. Enc.:  1 (1)
Alignment:  Neutral
Movement:  150' (50')
Armor Class:  3
Hit Dice:  15
Attacks:  3 (2 claws, 1 bite)
Damage:  2d12 / 2d12 / 1d8
Save:  L15
Morale:  11
Hoard Class:  XXII
XP:  8,700

Scarebears are blazing-eyed ursinoids that inhabit the most polluted of environs:  areas with heavy fallout, acid geysers, incandescent streams, freakish plants, twisted wildlife, etc.  Accordingly, they are immune to all toxins, chemicals, diseases, and radiation.  Scarebears down trees and shear through metal walls with just a single swipe of their unbreakable, retractable claws.

A scarebear can metamorphose into a Pure Human (albeit a hirsute one), or a part-bear, part-man hybrid with each part determined at will (allowing for, say, a bear head and human hands, or bear body with human head).

Vengeful creatures, scarebears never let a slight go unpunished.  They are adept at using computers and artifacts, and combine these skills with their shape-shifting to be experts at infiltration and sabotage.  And unlike almost every other monster in the way-out world of Scooby-Doomsday, scarebears are Neutrally aligned.

Scarebears are irrationally terrified of birds, mutant and otherwise.

Mutations:  Enhanced Vision (Night), Fear GenerationIntellectual Affinity (Tinkerer)Metamorph, Phobia (Avians) (D)

"What's Nuked, Scooby-Doomsday?" — Fromag

Fromag

No. Enc.:  1d4 (1d8)
Alignment:  Chaotic
Movement:  120' (40')
Armor Class:  5
Hit Dice:  10
Attacks:  1 (club)
Damage:  3d6+5
Save:  L7
Morale:  10
Hoard Class:  VII
XP:  2,400

Formerly entombed in ice from eons past, the barbarous fromags are prehistoric brutes loosed in the ruins.  They are usually encountered in laboratories, museums, adrift freighters, and clone-based-menageries-turned-ill-conceived-theme-parks.

Fromags are freakishly strong, and capable of rending alloy doors and hurling hefty debris up to 75' (inflicting 4d6 to 6d6 damage to those struck in the process, depending on the object).  They usually just bludgeon targets to paste with their clubs, though.

Fromags fixate on aquatic and aquatic-ish foes, targeting them first in any skirmish.

Mutations:  Reflective Epidermis (Cold)













Artifact:  Aqua-Vox


An aqua-vox is a portable Ancient artifact that translates human speech into the language of assorted aquatic species, and vice-versa.

It includes a processing unit with spinning transmitter beacon, an on-board microphone, numerous monitors and buttons, and a headset.


Aqua-voxes work on all manner of sea creatures, including fish, cetaceans, pinnipeds, and turtles.  (The device is nigh-useless on crustaceans, though, as they speak in nothing but profanities.)

And aquatic mutants are generally hostile to "surface worlders" just on principle, what with all the despoiled oceans and all.



Inspired by Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode #21, "Scooby's Night With A Frozen Fright" (1970).
