The mutant can repair any and all damage it has sustained in an instant. It can even regrow limbs, but at a slower rate.

People in the Pact Worlds wonder if these little creatures were originally used as pets by the Vesk. Of course some brilliant bio-engineer or cyberneticist decided that it would be a good idea to give the little creatures titanium claws and teeth.

The end result is that even if the little creatures are not exactly sturdy, they are fast and their bites and claws can inflict surprisingly dangerous wounds, and often these wounds will bleed rather profusely due to their cybernetic modifications.

A handful of these creatures is not exactly difficult to dispatch, but when they are used against enemy troops or even enemy encampments or fortifications. The little creatures are able to dodge and weave their way out of harm’s grasp, and even area effect weapons are often of little use when dealing with these creatures.

To make matters worse, they can use their teeth to chew through wire mesh and even walls or doors – given enough time – unless the features are made out of pure metal. Wire mesh covering exhaust vents, shafts and the like are completely at the little dino’s mercy!

As is the case with many of the genetically modified dinosaurs used by the Vesk, these creatures are slightly more intelligent than their original ancestors, and even these little creatures are fully capable of learning how to open doors, drawers, and even fiddle with simple latches or other such mechanisms.

When they are not being used to harass enemy soldiers, these creatures are often left to their own devices on the bases and installations used by the Vesk. After all, they keep small vermin and other pests down to a minimum… and the Vesk consider them a tasty snack!

Evasion (Ex): Whenever the Flyer is subjected to a reflex save to avoid half damage, it will automatically avoid all damage upon a successful save.

Explosive Egg (Ex): Occasionally the flyer will carry a pair of ‘eggs’ into combat with them. These can be dropped from any height and once they impact the ground, the eggs will explode in a 20 foot radius. The area of effect will suffer 2d6+3 points of flame damage, with a Ref save (DC 13 for half damage, as the area is coated in the napalm-like chemical used by the Spewer Arachnid. After the ‘egg’ detonates, the flame will continue to burn for 1d3+1 rounds, unless the victim is able to somehow smother the flames (rolling in dirt, dousing in chemical fire-extinguishing foam, jumping into a river or large body of water). Also the napalm-like fire will remain on whatever terrain it coated when the arachnid used this ability and will last for 1d3+1 rounds before burning out. The Flyer can use this ability only twice, and then it needs to ‘reload’ back at its base.

Hardened Survivor (Ex): The warrior is completely immune to poisons and radiation, and it is able to withstand extreme conditions, even utter vacuum. Whenever the beast must make a saving Fortitude saving throw when dealing with environmental conditions, it gains a +10.

The creature will gain a +2 to hit with its claws and the damage is increased to 2d6+4 if the slash succeeds. This requires a full round action to complete.

Ground Vulnerability (Ex): If the creature is ever forced to fight on the ground, it loses its Dexterity bonus and as such its EAC and KAC both drop by 5.

Turreted Weapon (Ex): Mounted on the shoulder of the creature is a specialized turret. It is controlled by a simple computer program and allows the Pterodactyl to target anything around it, even if it is directly behind it and fire. This is a free action and does not count as an attack by the creature. Furthermore, the Pterodactyl cannot be flanked as long as the weapon has ammunition (12 rounds), as the software will track and automatically attack.

Special Abilities

Hardened Dermal Plates (Ex): The augmented T-rex has heavy plating around its body, giving it excellent damage reduction and upon each shoulder is a heavy weapon mount. As a full round action, the creature can fire both weapons at once until it runs out of ammunition.

Rocket Packs (Ex): As a movement action, the T-rex can activate a set of rocket packs attached to its back. This gives the creature the ability to fly for short periods of time. The creature can use this for a maximum of 10 minutes per day before the fuel is depleted and must be replenished.

Swallow whole (Ex): The creature is able to potentially swallow whole any creature it bites which is at least one category size smaller. See page 156-157 of the Alien Archive for more information.

Trample (Ex): As a full-round action, the creature can move up to twice its speed and literally run over any opponents at least one size category smaller than itself. The T-Rex  merely has to move over the opponents in its path. The creature does not need to make an attack roll; each creature whose space it moves through takes damage. A target of a trample can make a REF save (DC 20) for half damage. If it attempts the save, it can’t make an attack of opportunity against the trampling Dino due to the creature’s movement. The Augmented dino can deal trample damage to a given target only once per round.

Ecology

Environment: Any starship or technological ruin

Organization: Solitary

Special Abilities

Debilitating Roar (Ex): The creature emits a constant roar, which can be very disconcerting and anyone hearing it must make a Will save (DC 19) suffer -2 to hit, saving throws, and skill checks as long as they can hear the beast.

Dream Hunter (Su): Often the creature will make its lair somewhere near a technologically advanced society. Once per day, it will randomly sense a sleeping intelligent creature. It will fill the targets mind with the images of whatever ship or ruin it inhabits, dropping hints at what kind of wonderful technological treasure might be waiting to be found. The victim is allowed a Will save (DC 19) and if it succeeds, the victim will be filled with a dread, knowing that something horrifying is waiting to turn the victim into its next meal. Otherwise, the victim will gain an instinctual knowledge of where the ruin or the ship is located and do whatever it can to travel to that location.

Psychic Assault (Su): This beast is capable of sensing the life-force of anyone within 1000 feet. As long as the beast can sense the victim the dimensional dragon can, as a move action, make the psychic assault. The victim is allowed a Will save (DC 19). If the save fails, and the victim is beyond the grasp of the creature, the victim must move towards the creature at its maximum movement rate. The creature will guide it, ensuring it takes the shortest route to get to the creature. Once the victim is within the beasts range, the victim is then paralyzed with terror and cannot act. This will allow the creature to grab the victim and shove it into its maw to be consumed. The victim is allowed a saving throw every round to break free of the effects of this attack.

Tentacle Assault (Ex): For each tentacle which strikes the target, the grapple penalty is reduced by 2. So if four tentacles strike, instead of the victim gaining +13 to its KAC, the victim only gains a +5.

Other Abilities: Absorb bones, poison water

Languages: None

Ecology

Environment: Any temperate plains

Organization: Solitary, small group (1d3+1)

Special Abilities

Absorb Bones (Su): Any creature killed by this creature will be absorbed into the creature’s body. This requires a single full round action, and  It will automatically gain a number of hit points equal to half of the victim’s original hit point total. Any creature absorbed in such a manner is permanently dead. It can use this ability at will.

Blood to Acid (Ex): When the creature bites, it injects a chemical which causes the water molecules to become altered, binding with the water molecules in the blood to become a powerful acid. Anyone struck by this ability (through a bite attack) is allowed a Fort Save DC 16. If the save fails, the toxin will inflict 2d8+8 points of damage per round for 1d4 rounds, as the very blood of the victim begins to eat its way from the inside out. If the victim’s hit points are reduced to below zero, the creature’s entire organic matter will have melted away, leaving behind a skeleton, ripe for the mutant monster to use.

Poison water (Ex): By spending at least 3 rounds in any form of water, it will take on the toxic properties of acid. This will not be readily noticeable at first – someone drinking or entering a contaminated water source will not notice anything is amiss for 1d4 rounds. After that, the acid will begin to take effect. Moving through a contaminated source will inflict 2d8+8 points of damage per round, as long as the creature remains inside the medium. As soon as it leaves, the damage will stop. Anyone drinking the liquid will suffer the same damage as listed in the blood to acid ability, for the same duration as if they were injected.

Lamia

Ability Adjustments: Dex +2, Cha +2, Int -2

Hit points:  6

Movement: 30 feet.

Size and Type: Lamia is large monstrous humanoids with reptilian subtype.

Space: 10 ft. Reach:  5 ft.

Skill Adjustments: The Lamia gain acrobatics and Athletics as a class skill with a +2 racial bonus to both. +2 Fort saves vs. Poisons.

Special Abilities: Darkvision 60 ft., poison bite, thermal vision (60 feet), immune to Lamia poison

                Cold Vulnerability: The Lamia suffers a -2 to any saving throw involving a Cold Effect. Also if the Lamia is reduced to less than half her current hit point total, she must make a Fort save (with the penalty) DC is 10+damage inflicted which reduced her hit points to less than half, or become staggered. She will lose the staggered condition after the damage has been healed. The only advantage is that if she is reduced to zero hit points or less from a cold-based attack, it does not kill her, instead she goes into a state of hibernation until the cold damage has been healed.

                Constriction: A Lamia can crush an opponent, dealing bludgeoning damage, when it makes a successful grapple check. Any creature grappled is considered to be pinned. The damage is 1d6+str+ ½  level in damage.

                Lamia poison – Type: poison (injury), Save: Fort DC 10 + CR or Level of Lamia, Track: constitution, Frequency: 1/minute, Effect standard, Cure: 1 save. Lamia are naturally immune to this poison.

                Poison Bite: The lamia gains a natural attack ability bite. Damage is 1d4+Str + ½  level, plus poison.

                Thermal Vision: This type of vision allows the Lamia to see in complete darkness. Everything it sees will be in shades of blue to white, with the warmer the heat source, the brighter the white.  If there are no differences in the heat of the location, it can still make out shapes, but will have difficulty in perceiving depth. As such any ranged attacks in an environment where the temperature is uniform will suffer a -2 to hit.

                Unusual Shape: Due to the Lamia’s body structure, any armor and clothing needs to be custom-made. This increases the cost by 50%.

Racial Feats:

Crushing Constriction (Racial)

                Prerequisite: Strength 15+, BAB 5+, Lamia

                Benefit: The constriction attack’s damage is increased to 1d10 and the damage bonus is increased to the Lamia’s level instead of ½ the level.

Crushing Constriction, greater (Racial)

                Prerequisite: Strength 15+, BAB 10+, Lamia

                Benefit:  The constriction attack’s damage is increased to 2d8 and the damage bonus is increased by the Lamia’s level  x 1.5.

Mystical Connection

                Prerequisite: Mystic class, Lamia

                Benefit: The Lamia has a more powerful connection to the mystic arts, and as such all spells are cast as if two levels higher than the Lamia’s actual level.

Potent Poison (Racial)

Special Abilities

Cling (Ex): Like a spider or insect, the Ahl is capable of clinging to any surface. It gains its full movement even if it is running on a wall or ceiling.

Darkness disciples (Ex): With darkness being their natural environment, the creatures gain a +10 to stealth whenever dim light or shadows are present. If they are in actual darkness, the creatures are invisible.

Douse Light (Su):  The Ahl are capable of extinguishing any light source that they can see. This is a magical ability that essentially places a globe of darkness over the light source. It does not drain power, put out fire or anything along that line. The ability can be used at will, and it lasts until the Ahl voluntarily turns off the ability or is killed. The Ahl can only extinguish one light at a time.

Light Vulnerability (Ex): The creature is susceptible to light. Even dim light causes it pain. If exposed to light above dim, it suffers a -2 to hit, and anything above normal may blind it temporarily. If exposed to normal light or greater, it must make a Fort save (DC 13) or become blinded. This will last for as long as the creature is exposed to the light. Furthermore, if the creature is hit by any weapon which employs light, such as a laser, it suffers an additional +1 damage per dice, and must automatically save or be blinded.

Electricity Vulnerability (Ex): The MARK 13 robots are vulnerable when it comes to electrical attacks, taking an additional +1 damage per dice. When the construct faces electrical damage, it must make a Fort save (DC 10 + half the damage inflicted) or become staggered for 1 round.

Lexicon (Ex): The MARK 13 has a lexicon of all known languages and is fully capable of speaking and understanding any spoken language it encounters.

Rebuild (Ex): The MARK 13 are exceedingly difficult to destroy. Even if the construct is reduced to 0 hit points, it can, as long as the supplies are in close proximity, rebuild itself. The MARK 13 is able to send out swarms of nanites and they can strip away the materials it requires. The construct is able to repair 6 points of damage per day until it regains at least 1 hit point. After this it will regain one hit point per hour, until it is fully restored. The only way to permanently destroy one of these constructs is to expose it to an EMP attack or an electrical current for at least 1 minute (inflicting at least 1 point of damage per round).

Toxic Injection (Ex): The MARK 13 has a single stinger attack. Anyone struck by the stinger takes the damage, and must make a Fort save DC 14 or suffer from the effects of the toxin it contains. The MARK 13 can inject the toxin every time it strikes.

Special Abilities

Horrendous stench (Ex): Due to the rot of the corpse as well as the squallid conditions of its home, anyone approaching within 30 feet of the creature must make a Fort save (DC 15) or become sickened. As long as they remain within the area of effect this will remain, but once they are out of the range, it will remain for only 1d4 rounds.

Irresistible Pull (Su): The Couch Corpse is able to draw anything within its line of sight towards it. This ability can be used as a free action and can only affect one target at a time. The victim is allowed a Will save (DC 13). If it fails the victim will approach the couch corpse to within striking distance and will be forced to remain there until it successfully makes a will save.

Poltergeist (Su): Being incapable of moving, the couch corpse is able to lift any object around it and hurl it at any target within 100 feet. This is a full round action and is a ranged attack. It can also use this ability to pull any medium or smaller sized creature towards it. The target is allowed a Will save (DC 13) to avoid being drawn towards the creature.

Swallow whole (Ex): The couch corpse is able to potentially swallow whole any creature it bites which is at least one category size smaller. See page 156-157 of the Alien Archive for more information.
