Trap Monsters
Some monsters are generally too stationary to function except as traps.
Icicle Imp
An icicle imp looks exactly like an ordinary icicle (a Good Disguise), but it can generate unusual amounts of cold.
Icicle imps are not particularly smart, and can only speak Cryonic languages.
Icicle Imp Common — 3 points
| |
AD 1 GD 1 Will 0 HP 1 Toughness 4 | |
Muscle -4 Accuracy 2 Save DC 4 Magic Power -2 | |
Stealth 0 Perception 0 Agility 3 | |
Descriptors [ Blooded ], [ Living ], [ Blue ] | |
Movement None, and it can't gain any. | |
Size 0.25 meters Reach 0.25 meters | |
Carrying Capacity 0.625 kilograms Weight 1 Kilogram | |
Extras Quick |
The Icicle Imp has a melee Magic-Damage Chill weapon which deals 1d6 Cold damage and chills the wounded target.
The icicle imp has some control over nearby icicles, and can force any number of them within 10 meters to fall as an immediate action.
Icicle imps do not move on their own: rather, they become dormant upon melting, only to regain consciousness when they eventually form into icicles again.
Icicle imps return from death when reformed back into an icicle.
Advancement
Frost Aura (4 points): As a standard action, the icicle imp can emit a blast of cold, which makes an attack against AD against each creature or unattended object in a 10 meter blast for 1d6 Cold damage. It gains 2 Basic Specialties.
Alternate Forms (6 points): While liquid or steam, the icicle imp still cannot make attacks, but it can move and remains conscious. In water form, it gains 5 meter land, swim, and burrow speeds, with a 0 meter jump and sink distance. In steam form, it gains a 5 meter fly speed with 10 meter aerobatics distance. It gains 3 Basic Specialties.
Impstrumentality (5 points, requires Alternate Forms Advancement): The icicle imp becomes capable of sprouting limbs in order to move about while in icicle form. This gives it a 12 meter land speed with 1 meter jump distance, and 6 meter swim speed with -5 meter sink distance, and permits it to gain additional movement speeds by other means. Sprouting or reabsorbing its limbs takes a lesser action, and while its limbs are extant, it is not effectively disguised as an icicle. The icicle imp gains an Advanced Specialty and becomes Elite tier (giving it +1 HP).
Handlebug
A handlebug is a sort of isopod with a mutable shell.
The handlebug is not particularly smart, and can only speak Bug languages.
Handlebug Common — 5 points

The handlebug has ten "hands", its legs, and deals 1d6-2 damage with unarmed attacks (Muscle included). At the beginning of its turn, it can make one automatically hitting unarmed attack against a creature it is grappling. Its unarmed attacks inflict Demonsblood on a successful wound.
The handlebug can alter the color and texture of its shell in order to imitate various kinds of handles by secreting chemicals for one minute; it is a Decent Disguise.
The handlebug can crawl along walls and ceilings as easily as it crawls along the floor.
Advancement
Convincing Handle (4 points): The handlebug actually functions as a handle when it replaces one, and its handle disguise becomes Good. It gains two Basic Specialties.
Conversationalist (2 points, requires Convincing Handle): The handlebug is moderately smart, and can speak. It can fill the locking mechanism of the door with its legs in order to prevent any creature from opening it, and to increase its effective weight for the purposes of removing it from the door by 50 kilograms. It gains a Basic Specialty.
Shrill Shrub
A shrill shrub is a screeching bush that resembles a harmless shrubbery, as a Poor Disguise. It has no hands.

As a standard action the shrill shrub can emit a screeching noise which forces each creature that can hear it within 20 meters to make a Will save or take 1d6+3 Mind damage (Magic Power included). Creatures wounded by this are stunned for 1 round. The screeching noise is audible from 500 meters away.
Advancement
Commanding Screech (4 points): Instead of being stunned by the shrub's screech, wounded creatures spend 1 round trying as hard as possible to bring more creatures within range of the screech. The shrub gains two Basic Specialties and becomes [ Pink ].
Slaughterpine
A slaughterpine is a majestic evergreen tree, roughly 20 meters in height, with remarkably sharp pine cones, that looks like a more conventional tree as a Poor Disguise. It has no hands.
The slaughterpine is not particularly smart, and can only speak Vine languages.
Slaughterpine Common — 16 points

While in sprout form, pine cones have 1 HP, 5 AD, and 5 Toughness.
Advancement
If the slaughterpine is given either of the following advancements, it becomes Elite tier (giving it +1 HP).
Ultrafast Sprouts (5 points): The slaughterpine gains an Advanced Specialty, and its Pine cones only take 4 rounds to grow into full (unadvanced) slaughterpine trees.

Lair worms are always prone, and cannot stand up (the penalties are already included, where possible).

Advancement
Sudden Lurching (5 points): When using a melee guard, the lair worm may choose to move after it attacks as well. The lair worm gains an Advanced Specialty.
