The second represents armor, if any, which functions as both Ballistic and Impact armor. QUI The first number is the Quickness rating. The second is the movement multiplier for running. If the creature flies, swims, or moves in some other manner, the multiplier for such movement should be noted in its description. STR Exceptions to the standard rules regarding Strength are exceedingly rare, but will be noted in the description if they apply. CHA Only intelligent creatures capable of social interaction possess a Charisma Rating. For all other critters, Charisma is irrelevant. INT The first number is the rating used for Intelligence Tests and for resisting spells. The second number is used for Perception Tests. WIL Willpower. Very few exceptions to standard rules, if any. ESS Essence. If a capital A follows the number, the critter is a spirit, existing primarily in astral space. If a capital Z follows the number, the critter is a dual being. Critters with variable Essence have a range of ratings. REA Reaction. Used for physical attacks. INIT Calculated as Reaction plus Initiative dice as with player characters. Initiative also determines the maximum number of Combat Pool dice the critter can use in a single Combat Phase. ATTACKS This lists the Damage Code for the critter. Damage is Physical unless otherwise noted. The notation "Humanoid" means the critter can use weapons and follows the normal combat rules for characters, inflicting (STR)M Stun unarmed damage. If the critter has a Reach bonus or penalty, it will be noted here. Jauchekafer JauchekaferThis large, winged beetle is 80 centimeters long; the male sports enlarged, antler-like mandibles about 40 centimeters long.

Juggernaut JuggernautThe juggernaut is a giant variation of the common armadillo that reaches lengths of 14 meters or more. An aggressive hunter, the juggernaut prefers live prey, though it can subsist on almost any substance from plants to animals to rock to scrap metal. Its immense size, as well as the jointed armor that covers its body, makes the juggernaut tough to kill.

It has been reported as appearing in several forms, though this has not yet been verified and these different forms may in fact be separate spirit types. Such forms have included whirling snow, a man made of ice and a pale white woman. The spirit often makes a crackling noise, like breaking ice, when using its powers.

All three forms have reddish eyes, are primarily nocturnal, and have been known to attack humans and metahumans.

Leshy LeshyThese humanoids often appear plantlike, an impression given by their leaf-and-moss garments, rough skin, and green-tinged hair. They average 1.5 meters tall, with short tails. Known for their magical ability, leshy are frequently shamen and show an affinity for forest spirits. Highly territorial, they often set traps for the unwary passing through their home grounds. BOD QUI STR CHA INT WIL ESS REA INIT ATTACKS Leshy 3 4 (x4) 3 4 3 3 8Z 3 3+2D6 Humanoid Powers: Confusion. Many also have Magical Skills.

The virus alters the host considerably: short gray-black fur covers the body, the canines become pronounced, the lips draw back from the teeth, and fingernails harden into claws. The loup-garou is barely intelligent, but has an animal cunning. It lives as a scavenger most of the time, save for a peak period of four to six days out of every twenty-eight when it becomes a ravening monster, attacking and killing any creature it can.

It has also appeared as a deep patch of shadow, a walking tree, and a talking woodland animal. When assensed, the man-of-the-woods appears as a flickering, shimmering humanoid. More free-willed than the average nature spirit, they can leave their own domains but cannot exercise their powers outside their territory.

A variant known as the hada is found from Aztlan to Amazonia; both being countries where free spirits are granted citizenship and full rights. Banishing a free spirit in such nations is considered murder. Martichoras MartichorasThe martichoras is an aggressive carnivore that grows to a length of 2.2 meters and a height of 1.1 meters at the shoulder. Resembling a lion, it has longer fur and a wider mouth with multiple rows of teeth as well as a bunch of porcupine-like spines that grow from the tip of its tail.

Merlin hawks can detect the Essence Ratings of creatures within a range of (Essence) miles, and they respond negatively to creatures with unusually low Essence (due to cyberware implants, vampiric drain and so on). Mermaid MermaidThis marine mammal resembles a sea lion with human-like arms and a shock of long, dark head hair. It has four claw-tipped fingers but no opposable thumb. Mermaids can reach lengths of more than 2 meters and weights of up to 350 kilograms. A fast-moving predator, the mermaid catches and rends its prey using its strong hands and talons.

Its long forelimbs end in three-fingered hands with opposable thumbs. A long mane covers its neck, and a series of extended spinal vertebrae runs the length of the torso. Despite the dermal bone that armors its lower body, the merrow’s tail is remarkably flexible. They are known to use simple tools and may have human-level intelligence.
