Shuffling mounds are hollow heaps of color- and reflectivity-shifting nanobots. They reorient theirselves to form parascopic views of the outside world for the crew. The Shuffling Mound does not have any inherent non-touch sensors, and so is not a very effective AI vehicle unless wirelessly connected to cameras.

The Shuffling Mound's Light Weapons can fire in any direction. It can spend Power to heal an equal amount of HP at any time(s) during its turn. Unlike most other vehicles, it can make unarmed attacks.

Components

Passengers (Targetable from all sides other than Bottom): This is not really a component. Make attacks against the creatures inside the Shuffling Mound at a -3 penalty. In order to shoot out, they must have the Shuffling Mound create firing ports, reducing the penalty for firing at them to -2 and letting in 50 kilograms of water per firing port per round if submerged.
