Here's another collaborative beastie arising from our Umerica group. Each player rolled on the ol' mutations chart from Maximum Mutagenesis (which is a danged snazzy tome), hence the resulting ridiculousness.
Sneakstank
Sneakstanks are roughly man-sized crabs (around 4'-5' tall, and about 6' wide) with bulbous eyes and scaly, reptilian limbs. Their mouth-mandibles end in small manipulative claws.
Sneakstanks are cunning, and while certainly no geniuses, are intelligent enough to utilize any tech that fits in their "hands". Like piratical gondoliers, they pole across the waters via "trashbergs" to plunder unassuming coastal communities.
Sneakstank: INIT +3; ATK big pincer +5 melee (2d6), small pincer +5 melee (1d6); AC 10 (d5 Armor); HD 3; MV 20' or 60' swim; ACT 1d20 (big) and 1d16 (small); SP Abnormal Limbs, Aquatic Adaptation (Water Ambush), Gigantic Proportions (Huge Eyes), Queasy Emissions (Offensive Odor); SV Fort +4, Ref +0, Wil +2; AL N or C.
Abnormal Limbs: lizard-like
Aquatic Adaptation (Water / Sand Ambush): lies in wait under the surface of either water or sand, gaining a surprise attack against oblivious foes [must roll an Intelligence check at DC 15 to detect]. Successful surprise attacks are automatic critical hits.
Gigantic Proportions (Huge Eyes): gains +10 to all visual perception checks; can see perfectly well in the dark; gains +2d to stare down an opponent.
Queasy Emissions (Offensive Odor): exudes a foul miasma that induces retching to all within 100’. Getting closer requires a WILL save at DC 14; failure indicates convulsive gaging, inflicting a -2d penalty to all actions while within 100’ of the creature. A new save must be made each round for those who choose to remain near the crab. Failing three saves in a row will cause the person to effectively be "turned" (as Turn Unholy of the core DCC book, pg 96-97).
