Bitestriders are freakish, man-sized bipeds that stalk migratory herbivores across the Mutant Future.  Pack hunters, their tactics include both ambushes and all-out, speedy assaults.

A bitestrider relies on its antennae for Energy Ray attacks, and detecting prey via electrical impulses.  This "electro-sense" functions as the Echolocation Physical Mutation [p. 24 of the Mutant Future Core Rules], but Robots and Androids overload it; accordingly, bitestriders give "living metal" a wide berth.

Bitestrider teeth—bizarrely formed from an organic glass—are prized for use as arrowheads, surgical tools, and saws.  They grant +2 damage when used in weapons and implements.

Mutations:  Energy Ray (Electricity), Unique Sense ("Electro-Sense")
