You gain the following benefits at all times.

Your senses are enhanced in the following way.

  • Hearing: You are capable of perceiving physical shapes via sound. You must produce a tounge click to “ping” with your echolocation each Round you wish to use it.
  • Hearing: You may hear sounds of sub- and hyper-sonic frequencies, allowing you to hear tiny things (mice, insects, etc) better, and pick up on the vibrations of massive things (earthquakes, atmospheric disruptions, etc) long before others.
  • Hearing: You automatically know the origin location of any sound you hear, and you can tell which Action caused the sound.

Any senses which have been heightened cannot be overloaded. Battle Scars you receive cannot affect these senses.

  • Examples of overloading a sense include: an explosion causing temporary deafness, a bright light causing blindness, a sedative causing numbness, etc.

Between six and seven feet tall, its body a blend of raw reptilian power and primal intelligence. Thick, scaled limbs support a forward-leaning frame. Its skin is mottled grey, olive, and dark rust, colours that blend seamlessly into rocky or jungle terrain, with large, rugged scales that form natural plating along the shoulders, spine, and tail. The head is long and angular, with a wide jawline packed with serrated teeth and a flickering black tongue that tastes the air. Its eyes, golden and slit-pupiled, radiate a slow, calculating awareness. Long, clawed fingers suggest both tool use and combat capability, while a thick, muscular tail balances its gait.

Internally, its biology is built for endurance and sudden bursts of violence. A dual-lung system allows for high-efficiency oxygen exchange, enabling it to remain still for hours before erupting into explosive movement. Its heart, larger and more muscular than a human’s, beats slowly but forcefully, circulating a dense, copper-rich blood that resists infection and carries oxygen through its heavy musculature. Beneath its jaw and along the lower jawline lie venom glands that secrete a coagulant, inhibiting toxin, not injected, but smeared into wounds as its teeth rip and tear, causing slow, unstoppable bleeding. Its stomach is a high-acidity organ, capable of dissolving bone and carrion alike, while a second, smaller “crop” pouch stores food for slow digestion during lean periods.
