I remember this one from the solo adventure in the red basic book. The rust monster also makes an appearance in a Futrama episode.
This is my first attempt at making a monster using the Monster Burner. So any help or comment would be great. Thanks.
Rust monster
Concept: A subterranean ant-eater looking creature with two giant feelers and armor plating. Likes to eat metals.
Traits: Night-Eyed, Metal Lust, Antennae, Rust Aura, treat hide as maille
Stats: Will B3, Perception B3 (B6 when seeking metals), Agility B4, Speed B5, Power B2, Forte B4
Attributes: Steel B4, Hesitation 7 , Reflexes B3, Health B3, Mortal Wound B9
PTGS:
Skills: Metal-wise B4, Scavenging B3, Foraging B3, Stealthy B3, Two-Antennae Fighting Training B4, Antennae strike B4
Beliefs: Underground is better, darkness even better, iron is exalted above all else
Instincts: Always pursue metal and then strike with antennae, Eat ferrous first then all others, If they hurt you eat what you can and then run.
New Trait
Metal Lust (Dt, 2pts )
When presented with a metal object the rust monster must make a Steel check to avoid stopping and eating it. It takes the rust monster 1 action to consume roughly 1 lb of material. All other actions scripted by the rust monster become Eat metal until the object is consumed.
Rusted Aura (Dt, 8pts) Unnatural, Always On, Always Wins, Pain in the Ass
If the rust rust monster successfully strikes metal armor or is block by a metal shield the armor losses 1D of protection each time. If a metal weapon makes contact with the rust monster on the first strike reduce the weapons VA by 1. Once the VA reaches 0 reduce the quality of the weapon by one step if it is reduce below Poor then the weapon is a pile of rust.
