MARTIAN CRITTERS
Here you will find a small array of beasties and monsters and other things to carry, stomp, eat, gore, claw, bite, buffet, feed, and otherwise bedevil or aid your adventurers.
Our Critters are packaged and priced variably (as befits such a variety of large and small beasts.)
Codes in talics are not yet released
PLORSES
Wild plorses still roam the steppes of Mars and still have a nastier disposition than their cousins who have been domesticated as riding beasts by City Dweller Martians. You can start a herd (or would that be flock?) or mount up your cavalry on hardy local mounts today! Sold in pairs. There are three randomly supplied variants of our plorses.
THE DREAD BARALANTH
The Dread Baralanth is feared, run-away-from, fed, hunted, and -well- dreaded over much of the surface of Mars. Its size, strength, general fearlessness, and cunning - not to mention its fangs and claws - make it a predator to be reckoned with. Dread Baralanths are sold singly (although they do come in two parts so some assembly is required). Do you really want to tangle with more than one at a time?
GROSK
Grosks has been domesticated across the length and breadth of Mars to serve as a beast of burden, a draft animal, and even as a weapons platform. Normally docile (except in the rutting season), the grosk can be quite a dangerous animal when riled or wounded. The handler is not included with the wild grosk. CTR-03 A is a Grosk kitted out in a draft harness, perfect for hauling City Dweller artillery
BOTTATARU
Bottataru run in flocks and wild flocks are a constant danger to crops and can be quite agressive when distrubed at their feeding, surprised, frightened, met during their (long) mating season -- well, pretty much all the time They come in a flock of three. Though we have three variants of our bottataru. As they are supplied randomly, there is no guarantee of getting all different ones in a flock.
THOAKE
Thoakes are the chosen riding animals of the Wastelander Martians who have an uncanny relationship with the beasts. Some thoakes freely roam the dry Martian seabeds and the traveler is advised to treat them with the respect one would show an Earthly rhinoceros. Your thoake will come with one of two head variants and one of two right front legs variants and one of two left rear legs variants. Mix, match, and have fun.
MANY-ARMED MAPE
Mapes are violent creatures. Unlike most martian creatures, they have hair, although this is confined to discrete patches. Sking color is dun to grey, often shading to white. Though usually solitary, they have been known to gather in large, marauding groups. Such social gatherings do not seem to improve a mape's disposition. Your mape will come in several pieces, requiring assembly
