    Sharp Claws (12): thrust 1d-1 cutting (KYOS: 1d cutting), Reach C.
    Disease: Any living creature injured by a Tyrantfog zombie’s claws risks being infected. Roll against HT-3. If the roll is failed, the infected creature takes 1d-1 toxic damage a day later, and then every day for 5 more days. Each instance of damage can be negated by a HT-3 roll. When the victim loses 2/3 HP to this disease, he gains a -1 penalty to DX and ST until healed above this threshold.
    Sickening Cloud: Any creature that inhales the fog exuded by the Tyrantfog zombie in a 4-yard radius becomes nauseated for a number of minutes, equal to the margin of failure on the HT roll to resist.
