As The Ancients traversed the cosmos and explored distant worlds, water was perhaps the most precious of resources...

...WHICH PROVED QUITE DEADLY TO PROCURE WHEN INHABITED BY AMPHIBIOUS FREAKS WITH A HUNGER FOR HUMAN FLESH!!!

The yabbex are bipedal crustaceoids with thick carapaces, portly builds, and long, stringy manes.  They lurk in the rocky outcroppings of freshwater rivers and lakes to better spy on shorebound targets, and then ambush those that enter the water.  Yabbex attack from the depths, Surprising on a roll of 1-4 on 1d6.  Anyone targeting a submerged yabbex with a ranged weapon suffers a -2 To Hit penalty.

Yabbex sport two massive pincers that disarm targets on a natural To Hit roll of 18-20.

Mutations:  None











Artifact:  Spectrum Gun

A spectrum gun emits waves of "chromatic radiation" that alter the colorations of everything targeted—people, objects, environs—to a uniform hue of the wielder's choosing (as long as it's green, red, blue, or yellow, that is).

Yep, that's all it does.

The effect encompasses a 20' radius at a range up to 20', and lasts 2d10 rounds.  Each gun carries a battery with 10d10 charges.

(Some Mutant Lords may rule that sudden color shifts grant a bonus to Surprise and/or Initiative rolls, or cause those with color blindness to suffer penalties.)
