Punch (14): thrust 1d crushing (KYOS: 2d-1 crushing), Reach C.
Paralyzing Tongue (14): A mohrg can lash out with its tongue to paralyze its victim. This attack has Reach C, 1 and cannot parry. If the tongue touches bare skin, the victim must roll HT to resist. He becomes paralyzed for 3 seconds per point of margin of failure. After that the subject is stunned (p. B420) and may roll vs. HT once per second to recover. 
Mohrgs are Numb (p. B146), unless they are using their tongues to feel objects, since this fleshy part is quite sensitive. Tongue is not armored and is not a manipulatory organ. When using the tongue to feel an object outside of its mouth, the mohrg cannot speak or bite.
Create Spawn: Creatures killed by a mohrg rise after 2d days as zombies under the mohrg’s control. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life.

  2. Looking at these lovelies again. Can you tell me what Dominance (Zombie; Fatal Beating, -40%) is all about?

    1. This one was revised a couple of weeks ago for a proper entry for my Monstrous Compendium, so you're lucky!
      Dominance (Fatal Beating) is described under the Create Spawn ability. Fatal Beating appeared as a modifier in GURPS Zombies.

  3. Last question, I swear (I also lie)
    What sort of HP threshold do you envision the tongues having if they are hit? HP/2? HP/3? I imagine they are not that tough at all, no DR. Probably difficult to hit? -4 I'm estimating? Thinking it is smaller than an arm or leg, but probably equivalent to a hand or foot.

    1. Don't worry, I'm always happy to help.
      I have the following: "Tongue (-6): DR 0. The tongue can only be targeted when the mohrg is feeling an object with it. HP 3, any excess injury is lost."
