Its horns, though, receive little use as weapons, since the Bonacon's normal tactic when confronted with danger is to turn tail and run. Unfortunately when it does so, it invariably raises its tail and unleashes a discharge of gas and excreta that quickly cover a large area, traditionally "three acres." Upon contact with any surface, this discharge immediately adheres and ignites. ============== I.

However, there the resemblance ends. The Boreyne has a barbed serpent's tongue, the forelegs of a predatory cat, and its rear legs end in immense talons, like those of an eagle. Fortunately, the Boreyne also lacks the Bonacon's defence mechanism. ============== I.

Marc Carlson IMC@VAX2.UTULSA.EDU 1 January 1994 Cockatrice (Fabulous/Heraldic) Length/Height: 1 meters Mass: 30 kg Preferred Habitat: T/H/N Max Velocity (m/s): 6 Body Points: 33 Armor Value: 2 Speed: 8 Strength: 5 Dexterity: 10 Constitution: 16 Intelligence: 2 (6 A) Willpower: 10 Bravado: 9 Perception: 8 Appearance: 4 Stamina: 12 Power: 25 Size Variation: x.5 to x1.5 Food Value: n/a Armor Material: Thin Leather, -- locs Special Attacks: Claw, DV 5 III + Poison : Bite, DV 2 II + Poison : Poison "Aura," 2 meter diameter Skills: Brawling: 4 Stealth: 6 Tracking: 8 The Cockatrice is an odd species of creature, similar to some forms of Dinosauria. It is both feathered and covered in a scaly skin. It appears to have the head and body of a Rooster, a barbed tongue, a long serpentine neck and tail, and wide, thorny, leather skinned wings. Note that it has wings as well as four legs. Its breath, as well as anything else it expels, is extremely poisonous. The stories of its gaze being poisonous, or turning people to stone, are additions to the legend from a later age, than the original creature. Traditionally, the Cockatrice was created, along with the Asp, the Amphisbaena, and the Annodyte from the spilled blood of the Gorgon. Cockatrice Poison: Infiltration Method: N,C, or R Normal Dose: .0001 gram Effects: 0 sec, (-2 All) 1 sec/Infinity. Treatment: If administered by contact: flushing the area with water can clean the skin or clothes, n.b. this will contaminate the water used to wash away the poison. If administered by injection, ingestion or respiration there is no way to counteract the poison. Note that only the Weasel and the Rue plant are immune to the effects of the Cockatrice, and the Weasel is that creature's most hated enemy. ============== I. Marc Carlson IMC@VAX2.UTULSA.EDU 1 January 1994 Basilisk/Amphisien Cockatrice/Regulus (Fabulous/Heraldic) Length/Height: 1 meters Mass: 30 kg Preferred Habitat: T/*/* Max Velocity (m/s): 6 Body Points: 18 Armor Value: 10 Speed: 8 Strength: 6 Dexterity: 10 Constitution: 15 Intelligence: 2 (6 A) Willpower: 19 Bravado: 8 Perception: 9 Appearance: 4 Stamina: 10 Power: 150 Size Variation: x.5 to x1.5 Food Value: n/a Armor Material: Thin Leather, Scales, 10 locs Special Attacks: Claw, DV 5 III+ Poison : Bite (Rooster Head), DV 5 II+ Poison : Bite (Dragon's Head), DV 1 II + Poison : Flame, DV 51 (RC 1/1; Covers 2 hexes) : Poison "Aura" 1 meter Diameter Skills: Brawling: 15 Hide: 11 (Concentration) 18 The Basilisk is a form of Cockatrice (qv). Like the Cockatrice, the Basilisk is both feathered and covered in a golden scaly skin. It appears to have the head and body of a Rooster with bulging eyes, a barbed tongue, a long serpentine neck and tail, eight legs and leathery wings. However, its tail ends in the head of a small, but still dangerous Dragon's head capable of spitting a cone of flames. Its breath, as well as anything else it expels, is extremely poisonous, so much so that the creature is most often found in a desert of its own creation. Note that only the Weasel and the Rue plant are immune to the effects of the Basilisk, with the exception of its flames, as it is to the effects of the Cockatrice, and the Weasel is those creatures' most hated enemy. Basilisk Poison: Infiltration Method: N,C, or R Normal Dose: .0001 gram Effects: 0 sec, (-2 All) 1 sec/Infinity. Treatment: If administered by contact: flushing the area with water can clean the skin or clothes, n.b. this will contaminate the water used to wash away the poison. If administered by injection, ingestion or respiration there is no way to counteract the poison. Potentially, the most dangerous of the Basilisk's powers is the ability of the smaller, Dragon's head to Polymorph any living thing it gazes upon to stone. Traditionally, the Basilisk, sometimes confused with the Cockatrice, is born of a Cock's egg buried in feces and hatched by a toad. A Cock's egg can only be laid by a 9 year old Rooster during the months Sirius is in the Sky. ============== I.

They have a ridged crest that runs along their backs, originating with the large dorsal fin, and progressing reward to the vertical tail flukes. Their forehead is made up of a single iridescent, horny pad (AV50) which they use to ram their more serious opponents. They are air breathers. ============== I.

They are very large, and are reputed to carry off teams of oxen for their food. The foreclaws have the same medicinal properties as the unicorn's horn, if used as a drinking vessel, ie, making the drinker immune to poison and most disease for up to 24 hours.

The 1.23 meter long serrated horns are reputed to be able to cut through anything (AV 50, BP 11, Mass .3 kg).

Among these are the three toes on each paw, and the long tail covered in long hair. While the mundane lion lives in the plains in and around groups, the Fabulous Lion lives a solitary existence, the males and females coming together only to mate. The lions's cubs are born dead, and only after three days does the father come to them and breath life into the bodies. The Lion's long tail can be used to obscure the trail behind it, or if flipped over the Lion's back and head, it can render the King of the Beasts invisible. Lions are always on the alert to danger, even sleeping with their eyes open, and a most fierce when in a fight. However, they will not fight people who are prostrate, unarmed or otherwise defenseless. Note that running away from them just makes them mad. ============== I.

The fact that it prefers to live in fires has created the belief that the Salamander is a creature of fire, that it is perpetually on fire, and that it breathes flames. These could not be further from the truth. It is true that the Salamander prefers to live inside flame, but more often than not, the touch of a Salamander will extinguish fires, rather than set them. In nature, the Salamander is found only in the hottest parts of the desert, in the bubbling caldera of volcanoes, and so forth. The Salamander doesn't eat food, such as we think of it, but rather subsists by absorbing the POW from its surroundings, preferably in the form of fire and heat. They are very poisonous, and touching them, or breathing the air they are by being within a meter of them in can be deadly: Administration: C Dosage: Any exposure or contact.

Notes: Symptoms are nausea and vomiting, often with abdominal cramps and diarrhea. During the second round, the patient often loses their hair. Note that during the entire period that the patient is effected, their biological waste products and other effluvia are as poisonous as the Salamander itself, although not for the victim. If frightened their skin exudes a white substance (Asbestos), which is NOT poisonous. ============== I.

The tip of the 111 cm long horn is red, the middle white, and the portion closest to the creature's head is black (AV 25, BP 25, .21 Kg). The Horn has enormous magical powers (POW 200).

While there exists a certain amount of regional diversity, all are distinguished by the broad supra-orbital ridges, flattened humanoid face, black eyes that can glow red like a cat's, and the short 1" hair exuding a tremendous stench. In most cases the Wodehouse has Black fur, or red orange, although in the Himalayas Brown or White are often found. In Europe, most common was a shade of mousey brown that often looked green. By repute, the Wodehouse lives alone, is violent and a man-eater. However, they are actually quite peaceful and non- aggressive omnivores whose dietary preference is for roots and berries. They live in family groupings of 1 male to 3-5 females, with the young males being driven off at maturity to find their own way. Although they are generally silent, they have a distinctive, very loud cry or scream that resembles a mournful wail that they use as a territorial call. The Wodehouse is highly adept at hiding it's own tracks, although they have been known to leave behind tufts of fur. ============== I.
