Monster: Chaos Beast

Monster: Chaos Beast

Chaos beast is an extraplanar monster that is constantly changing its shape. Despite having no stable form, it can only attack with its claws and can only manage two attacks per second, even though it can appear to have dozens of tentacles or other limbs. Its touch can curse the victim with a similar corporeal instability.

Sharp Claws (12): 1d+1 cutting (KYOS: 2d cutting), Reach C. If a living takes damage from the chaos beast’s claws, it must make a HT check to resist a transformative effect. Its body transforms into an amorphous mass for margin of failure minutes. Its Basic Move is reduced by 2, it gains Injury Tolerance (Homogenous, No Blood, No Head, No Neck), Invertebrate, Mute, No Legs (Slithers), and No Manipulators. It cannot wear any armor or use any items in this state - they all become useless and fall from the victim’s body. In addition, the victim constantly experiences terrible pain (p. B428). The victim can negate this effect and return to its natural form by taking a Concentrate maneuver a making a successful Will-4 roll. If successful, he retains his shape until the end of his next turn.
