"P" Is For "Pizzly" (Or "B" Is For "Bobble Bear")



This unholy creation was a collaborative effort amongst my long-term Umerica group.


We're starting a new campaign in the ruins of Aleutian Alaska, and the worldbuilding naturally involves new beasties.  Player M picked "grizzly / polar bear" hybrid, and The GM had us each roll an ability on the amazing mutation charts.


Sooooo Much Better Than Standard
Mutant Crawl Classics Rules

Meet the resultant monstrosity! 



Pizzly (aka Bobble Bear) 

Pizzlies are enormous ursines with freakishly enlarged heads with corresponding brains. They can--and do--consume anything, but posses a particular fondness for petroleum products. These chemicals leach into the fur, resulting in a protective plasticine coating; a dead pizzly's hide can be fashioned into tools and armor.

Two tentacles sprout from a pizzly's backside, and are deft enough to manipulate weapons and objects.

Pizzly (aka Bobble Bear): INIT +5; ATK bite +8 melee bite (1d14+2), claw +8 melee (1d6), tentacle slap +8 melee (1d3); AC 13 [d5 Armor]; HD 5+3; MV 40'; ACT 2d20 & 2d16 (tentacles); SP Carapace Protection (Plastic Shell), Gigantic Proportions (Head), Heightened Attributes (Agility), True Omnivore, Xenomorphic Traits (Tentacles); SV Fort +7, Ref +3, Wil +3; AL N or C.

Carapace Protection (Candy-Colored Coating): covered in resistant plastic-like fur and nodules increasing Armor +2d; can be fashioned into wearable armor and other implements.

Gigantic Proportions (Big Head): +1d5 to all Intelligence checks (as raccoon / dolphin / ape) and bite damage by +2d.

Heightened Attributes (Increased Agility): +2d to all Agility checks and Reflex saves.

True Omnivore: gains sustenance from eating meat, plants, and any / all petroleum products. 

Xenomorphic Traits (Tentacles): multiple tentacles grow from the creature's body; can use as well as normal limbs (and actually better, as can manipulate objects!) and grants 2d16 action dice for the tentacle’s actions.

TREMBLE BEFORE THE SUBTERRANEAN SAVAGERY OF... THE MIGHTY MOLEBEAR!!!


Almost a year ago, I posted a commissioned pic of one of my favorite mutants, the mighty molebear, by the amazing Ethan Nicolle of Bearmageddon and Axe Cop fame.

My versions from the dawn of this blog looked like this:

Original Flavor

Cool Winter Mint Flavor



Nicolle's infinitely better version looked like this:

Once The Greatest Thing I Have Ever Seen


AND THE VERSION THAT JUST DEBUTED IN THE WEBCOMIC LOOKS LIKE THIS:

NOW, TRULY, THE GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!
(from Bearmageddon entry 01/15/14)



Boy, howdy, does that pic gives me the giddy gigglies.

I think A Field Guide To Doomsday has a new official mascot.  Sorry, li'l leafbleeder.

Mutants In The News — "Goldilocks Is So Freakin' Screwed" Edition

Here's some more awful ursines from the fevered mind of mutant-maestro Ethan Nicholle.

These images are totally, 110% his, from his Bearmaggeddon archives.


Bearcrab

Bearadactyl


Hurm.  I should probably get around to statting up these cats for all our Mutant Future-y needs.

Mutants In The News — "Mutant Masterpiece" Edition

As mentioned previously, we here at A Field Guide To Doomsday go giddy for Ethan Nicolle's Bearmageddon strip.  It's chock full of murderous monsters and mayhem, and everything I want from a comic about mutant bears taking over the world in the most straightforward way possible:

Eating every human they encounter.  Elegant, no?

And back when I was just a rookie blogger, one of the very first beasties of my own making was the mighty molebear.  That subterranean sucker is very near and dear to my heart.

So when Mr. Nicole offered up custom commissions, I had to send him some megabucks.

AND BEHOLD WHAT MAJESTIES THEY HATH WROUGHT!!!

The Greatest Thing I Have Ever Seen

Lovely.  Absolutely lovely.

To quote a certain Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Jr.:  "IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!!!"

Disclaimer:  Mr. Nicolle still retains the rights, y'all, so give 'im credit if re-posting it or whatever.

Mutants In The News — "Bearmageddon" Edition

Since Theron was kind enough to give me just about the greatest compliment ever for my Acid Panda entry, I thought I'd keep the bear goodness rolling by pointing out one of my favorite web comics...




TREMBLE, FOOLS!!!

I've been sitting on this one a while, wanting writer/artist Ethan Nicolle (of the immortal Axe Cop fame) to build up a big chunk of material.  The link above starts at Page #1; he's up to #74 now.

Updates every Wednesday, so take a gander!
