Large, mutated Chickens are the mount of choice on Planet
X, and Wild Cluckers roam just about every corner of The Known World. A

Habitat: Any
These harmless, curious creatures drift lazily through the skies of Planet X, their skin coming in any and all colors, with numerous patterns decorating their skin. A Blish is normally the size of a basketball, but can expand to a massive, boulder sized being that is lighter than air. As a Blish grows, it floats higher and higher into the atmosphere. Domesticated Blish can be strapped to a large basket and used as a hot air balloon, and this manner of air travel is favored by the people of Planet X who wish to travel long distances. A Blish trained in this fashion learns to inflate when both of its tendrils are tugged on, and deflates when only one of its tendrils is tugged on.

Slags are mindless, bloodthirsty nuclear killing machines
who come in any and all shapes and gruesome sizes. All Slagodons were once a
member of the Human, Elven, Dwarven, Gnomish or Ogre species, but soaked up too
much radiation and exploded into one of these orange skinned monsters. Slags
kill everything and everyone on sight except other Slags, and often times
travel in cruel tribes under the lead of one badass Chieftain.

Chieftain gains two attacks per turn, and can choose from the following
attacks.
Tentacle Whip:
Many Slags use their spiked tentacle to slap at foes for Strength+d4 damage.
Goop Spit:
This gross ranged attack deals 2d4 damage on a successful hit.
Big Huge Weapon
(Chieftain Only): Most Chieftains make use of the biggest, meanest weapons
possible. Strength +d10 damage
Skull Toss
(Chieftain Only): Slag Chieftains often times carry skulls of fallen
victims, and love to hurl these bad boys at their foes as a ranged Aim attack. The skulls often times
shatter on impact, and deal Strength+d6 damage to the target, and also deal d6
damage to all enemies within 5 feet of the victim, as bone shards spray the
area.
Special
Abilities
Wild Card
(Chieftain Only): All Slag Chieftains are Wild Cards.
Nuclear Strike:
Whenever a Slag deals a Wound of damage to a foe, they also immediately gain a
Radiation point.
Acid Explosion:
When a Slag dies, it explodes in acidic green goop that deals 2d6 damage to all
non-slags in a 15 foot radius.
Primal Roar
(Chieftain Only): A Slag Chieftain can take two of their actions to let out
a blood curdling war cry that pumps up all other Slags within 25 feet of the
Chieftain, granting +2 to the next attack and damage roll of all Slags
affected. This does not benefit the Chieftain at all, and this ability can only
be used once per hour.
Habitat: Any
One of the most commonly encountered danger of the
Wasteland of Planet X is the legendary Waste Wolf. Far more muscular and
aggressive than their ancestor kin, Waste Wolves are quite large, scraggy, ferocious,
and deceptively stealthy hunters that scour the Wastes in search of prey. Waste
Wolves often times travel in packs of up to 5 Wolves led by one savage Alpha. A
Waste Wolf is often times decorated in screws that go straight into the
creature’s bones. Waste Wolves are cunning and cruel, and will often stalk prey
for miles in wait of the perfect ambush, attacking when prey is weak, wounded
or distracted.

Special

Wild Card (Alpha only):
All Waste Wolf Alphas are Wild Cards.
Fleet Footed: Roll

Go for the Throat:
A Waste Wolf instinctively goes for the target’s most vulnerable spot, and on a
successful raise on a bite attack roll adds +d8 to its damage roll instead of
the normal +d6.
Howl of the Pack
(Alpha Only): Once per day, a Waste Wolf Alpha can spend an action to let
out a gruesome howl that summons d4 (this die does not Ace) Waste Wolves in the
immediate area. If no Waste Wolves are in the nearby area, it will not activate
this ability.
Habitat: Any
While these small, football-sized fellows might seem
cute, they are the number one pest of the wasteland. Nukelings are small,
quick, and have voracious appetites, often attacking livestock like cattle and
goats, using their small, razor-sharp teeth to eagerly feast on any remains
they can gnaw upon. Most Nukelings congregate in large underground warren
communities, and when you see one, more aren’t far away. They mostly skitter
away from anything larger than them, except when they are in the midst of
feeding on raw meat, which puts them in an aggressive, bloodthirsty state in
which they will attack anything that threatens their meal. Besides this, flight
is a Nukelings first response to an attacker, but it will fight if cornered, or
if backed up by a few of their brothers and sisters. Nukelings are hatched from
eggs, and can be domesticated and kept as pets if their owner is the first
being the Nukeling sees when it hatches.

buzz saw, and deal 2d4 damage.
Special
Abilities
Skittish: Nukelings
are very small and hard to hit in combat. Any ranged OR close combat attack
made against them suffers a -1 penalty, as the Nukeling bolts chaotically from
side to side, excitedly jumping and sprinting around a dizzied attacker.
Ravenous Appetite:
Nukelings love to eat raw meat, and can entirely devour a carcass in a matter
of minutes, bones and all. Less reputable types might even use Nukelings to
easily dispose of bodies they don’t want found…
Domesticated:
A domesticated Nukeling can be purchased for 250 Gold Chips by most reputable
Nukeling breeders.
Habitat: Any
Childbirth is quite an interesting ordeal in the
Wasteland, and a Toxic Tot is the spawn of Mothers who are irradiated at the
time that they give birth. In game terms, at the time of birth, there is a %10
chance per point of Radiation the Mother currently has that the child will be
born a Toxic Tot, and immediately begin attacking anyone nearby, Toxic Tots are
truly savage and quite difficult to put down. The Mother always dies after the
gruesome birth of one of these little buggers.

Attacks
A Toxic Tot gets two attacks per round, and can choose
from any of the following vile abilities.
Projectile Puke:
Once per hour, a Toxic Tot can launch an unholy stream of acidic puke that
attacks in a cone, striking all targets in front of the little creep. This requires an Aim roll. Any
caught in the blast take 3d6 damage.
Tongue Lashing:
One flick of this lengthy prehensile tongue deals Strength+d4 damage.
Fussy Wail:
Once per hour, a Toxic Tot can emit a high pitch screech that causes all
targets within 50 feet of it to roll a Vigor test at -2. Targets who fail this
roll are Shaken.
Special
Abilities
Wild Card: All
Toxic Tots are Wild Cards.
Mommy Dearest:
Strangely, a Toxic Tot has a special bond with females and will not attack a
female unless provoked by them.

If there’s one thing that the Wasteland has in abundance,
it’s carcasses, and this is very good news for the radiated ancestor of the
common Vulture. Bloodbeaks aren’t just content to follow a wounded being and
wait politely for them to die, however, and a Bloodbeak will do what it can to
speed that process along…
Attributes:

Skills:
Fighting d6, Notice d6
Other Stuff:
Charisma 0 Pace 6 Parry 5 Toughness 6
Attacks
A Bloodbeak gets one attack per round and can choose from
the following abilities.
Strangle: A
Bloodbeak always attempts to wrap its gruesome tentacles around the throat of
its target as an initial attack. This is a Fighting check. The attack itself
deals no damage, but once the Bloodbeak has its victim by the throat, it will
not release its grip until it is pried off via an opposed Strength check that
must be made on the victim’s turn. A success on this Strength test frees the
victim from being strangled, and a raise also allows them to act on that turn. While
Strangling a target, any attacks made against the Bloodbeak by allies of the
strangled target follow the Innocent Bystander rule.
Peck: If a
Bloodbeak begins its turn strangling a foe, it immediately begins to rain down
a series of vicious attacks with its sharp beak, stabbing and biting its prey
in a frenzied barrage. The attack deals an automatic Strength+d4 damage and no
attack roll is needed.
Special
Abilities
Flight: Birds
can fly…surprise, surprise.
Scavenger:
While a Bloodbeak is far more aggressive than its Vulture ancestors, it is
still a cunning feeder and will not initiate an attack against unwounded prey.
A Bloodbeak will always attack the most severely damaged target in a combat. In
fact, it is not uncommon for these wily creatures to wait for a fight to
conclude before diving in to kill off any already weakened survivors.
Asphyxiate: A strangled target who does not
pry away the Bloodbeak quickly risks strangulation. Anyone who is strangled by
a Bloodbeak for 5 turns is immediately knocked out, no matter what their
current Wound count is.

Gore: A
Rhinocerat may charge a foe and attempt to gore them with their large horn. This
attack deals 2d8 damage and ignores all armor. A Rhinocerat only uses this
attack when it draws a Jack or higher for initiative. If a Gored target is
Shaken by this attack, they suffer a -2 penalty to recovering.
Special

Festering
Bite: Rhinocerats are filthy little creatures, and wounds from their
bite are incredibly difficult to heal. A target wounded by a Rhinocerat’s Bite
attack suffers a -2 penalty to all natural healing rolls.

Warpers are required to
eat Brains to sustain their strange psychic powers, but every now and again, a
victim of a hungry Warper comes back to life. In game terms, every time a
Warper eats the brain of someone with a Smarts score of d8 or higher, they roll
a d20. On a result of 1-3, the victim of the attack comes back to “Life” as a
fearsome undead, zombie-like creature known as a Drained-Brain.

Flight: A
Fleech has wings and knows how to use ‘em!
Life Leech: A
Fleech who deals a Wound of damage with its Chomp attack immediately rolls a
contested Strength roll against its victim. If the Fleech wins, they latch onto
their prey. If the victim wins, the Fleech does not latch on. A latched on
Fleech can take its action to immediately deal 2d8 damage without even rolling
an attack roll. A target who has a Fleech latched onto them may use their turn
to pry the Fleech off and engage in another contested Strength roll with the
foul creature.
Habitat: Nadderbog
Of all the baddies
prowling the irradiated Wastes, the Muckubus is certainly the most fetching!
Don’t let her sultry good looks fool you, though, as this swamp-babe is beyond
vicious. Often times posing as a wailing damsel in distress, the Muckubus lures
unsuspecting males towards her lair, where she them charms them into a
vulnerable position before delivering a brutal blow with her scythe like-appendage.
Muckubi are not only devilishly alluring, but they are intelligent and cunning
as well. Jealous and petty, these creatures hate all other attractive females,
and go out of their way to plot and scheme against any who dare rival her
beauty. These dreamy dames appear as sinfully curvy females with purple skin
and pne large bladed appendage where one of their hands should be.

Scythe-Claw: This
long blade saws through armor easily, and deals Strength +d6 damage (AP 3).
Curse
Kiss: The Muckubus can blow a lethal kiss to any target within 25
feet of them. The target rolls an Agility test to avoid the kiss, with a
failure causing them to take 2d8 damage.
Special
Abilities
Wild
Card: All Muckubi are dangerous adversaries
and are Wild Cards.
Charm: Any Male character who fancies females must make a
Spirit check each time they wish to act against the Muckubus. If this roll
fails, the target can do nothing that turn except make googly eyes at the
righteous babe. Botching this roll enslaves the target to the Musckubus, making
them a loyal servant to the lovely creature for one year’s time. Male characters
who are into other fellas are immune to a Muckubi’s charms.
Jelly: A Muckubus gains a +1 bonus to all attack rolls
made against any other female target that has the Attractive Edge. Increase
this bonus to +2 if the target has the Very Attractive Edge.
Habitat: The
Hive
The Grand Bang gave evolution quite a kick-start, and
several insects found that they could suddenly talk and think like normal
folks. Klackers have their own nation called The Hive, and also can be found in
roving bands throughout Planet X. Many Klackers believe that insectoids are the
new Masters of the planet, and hate all “Fleshies” with a passion, who they
consider to be second class citizens. Klackers are ruled by a cruel being known
as Buzztor, who preaches that Human, Elf, Dwarf, Gnome and Ogre are fit only to
serve bug-kind. At one time, King Buzztor had universal support among the
Klackers, but as his cruelty grows more and more, a splinter group of open
minded Klackers who wishes for peace with Fleshies is gaining more and more
converts. Buzztor still has his supporters, however, and his slavers make raids
constantly to capture any Fleshy and drag them back to the Hive to spend their
life in enslaved misery working in horrific underground salt mines.

heat that targets all enemies within its range that deals 2d8 damage. This is an Aim attack.
Disintegration
Gaze: A sickly thin beam of energy from a Slopclops’ gaze deals 2d6
damage on a successful Aim attack. A target who is Wounded by this attack must immediately make a Vigor

when they successfully launch an attack unawares.
Hyper-Sense
(Smell): A Radiaptor’s sense of smell is so keen that it can detect
anything within a 25 foot radius of it, even if the target is expertly hidden.
Stealth is useless against these creatures unless you can somehow mask your
scent.
Habitat:
Sporelock Grove

targets even at range with a successful Aim attack.
Clutching Roots:
A Bad Seed can control nearby plantlife, and can summon strong roots to burst
from the ground and entangle their foes. The target rolls an Agility test to

can break free by rolling a Strength test, with success breaking the victim
free. A Raise on this roll breaks the target free and allows them to act.
Special

Healing roll.
Vulnerability:
Since they are (kinda sorta technically) plantlife, all Bad Seeds take +4
damage from fire.
Habitat: Ruins
of Arcanica
The only native being of the smoldering Ruins of Arcanica
are the vengeful ghosts of powerful Human Wizards who still greedily protect
their long-crumbled towers. A Phantom Arcanist is filled with anguish and
impotent rage after being severed from the magical powers that they coveted so
much. These tortured souls use their newfound ghostly powers to torment those
foolish enough to stray too close to the places that bind them forever to the

energy attacks can even hope to do damage against these potent beings.
Incorporeal beings cannot physically interact with the world around them.
Haunt: The
area around a Phantom Arcanist is saturated with their eerie presence. Those in
the area see bleeding walls, floating apparitions, and hear ghostly moans.
Those affected must roll a Spirit test at -2. Failure indicates that they
suffer a -1 penalty to all Attribute and Skill rolls while in the area of
Haunting.
Possession: A
Phantom Arcanist craves a physical body more than anything and can attempt to
possess the body of any Shaken character within 25 feet of them. The victim
rolls a Spirit test to resist possession, with failure indicating that the
Victim is completely under the Phantom Arcanist’s control for 3 turns.
Habitat: The Badlands
Indistinguishable from a normal cactus until prey is

High Pain Tolerance:
Geminiants suffer no penalties due to Wounds.
Habitat: The
Badlands
These massive, ten foot
tall and two-headed abominations roam the blistering sands of the Badlands,
causing trouble and looking for fights. Both heads of a Geminiant struggle are separate

Stomp: Once
per hour, a Geminiant can sternly stomp his foot and cause a small earthquake
that affects all enemies within a 25 foot radius. All targets must succeed at
an Agility test or take 3d4 damage.
Throwing
Stuff: While they prefer close combat, a Geminiant can pick up large
rocks, rubble, or whatever else it can and hurl it at foes with an Aim test for Strength+d4 damage.
Special
Abilities
Wild
Card: All Geminiants are dangerous
adversaries and are Wild Cards.
Personality
Clash: At the start of each of a Geminiant’s
turns they must roll a Spirit check. If the check fails, the Geminiant
uses its turn arguing bitterly with its other head.
Habitat: The
Badlands
The legendary Girth Worm is, without question, the most
feared being on Planet X. To date, only one of these mammoth creatures is said
to exist, but it always leaves complete and utter devastation in its wake.
Girth Worms appear as massive, skyscraper-tall pink earth worms that boast
devastating Psionic powers. Some legends whisper that if a Warper can get just
a bite of a Girth Worm’s juicy brain, they would become the most Psionically
gifted being in the entire world. So far, few have put that theory to the test.
The Girthworm spends much of its time dormant underground, slithering far
beneath the surface through a network of massive tunnels that it has dug
through the planet. It rarely surfaces, but when it does, it often destroys entire
cities, leaving nothing but a smoldering crater and ruin. Some deranged,
unbalanced souls even Worship the Girth Worm as a god-being. Luckily, this
mystical beast has only ever been sighted in The Badlands.

Attacks
Surface: When
the Girth Worm is angry at something, it surfaces from its deep subterranean
maze and creates a massive crater that can suck in an entire town or
settlement. More than one Badlands settlement has been completely wiped off the
map in a matter of seconds in this fashion.
Warper Attacks:
The Girth Worm’s psychic arsenal is devastating, and some claim that with a
mere thought, it can explode the head of any being it gazes upon. In game
terms, the Girth Worm can do what it wants, when it wants.
Special
Abilities
Immunities: They
say that the Girth Worm is completely immune to all physical and Psionic
damage. Horrified witnesses of a Girth Worm surfacing say that the Girth Worm
cannot be harmed, only (hopefully) avoided.
Mind Link:
Warpers across the entire world have crippling and horrific nightmares in the
days leading up to the surfacing of the horrid Girth Worm, and this is the only
noticeable sign that its slumber has been interrupted. When a Warper complains
of horrible visions of catastrophic destruction, the wise pack their belongings
and relocate.
