Monday Mutants 20: Krutok
With its retinue of mind numb, pack laden humanoid servants in tow, the gruesome, two headed, ‘cruel talking’ krutok crosses the rubble strewn wastes. Some of its drooling, half-witted toys are on their last legs, and need replacing. That’s when it spots the team of worn out excavators as they leave the ruins.
After examining the dig team and bickering among itself for a moment, it sees that the humans are wounded and don’t appear to have any serious firepower. Half will serve as food, the others as pack animals and playthings.
Its mind made up, this sac bellied freak makes its move. It sends a mentally controlled giant garnock to start the show with a diversion on the right flank, and two almost brain dead skullocks to attack on the left. The hunt is on.
The krutok is our 20th Monday Mutant for The Mutant Epoch (TME) Tabletop RPG. This new freak makes alternating mental or energy attacks with its two heads, plus, is superbly defended from close quarter attacks by of dozens of pus and gas filled sacs which hang from its globular, reddish-purple body. Any hit on this thing will cause a sac to burst, unleashing one of many possible disgusting liquids, gases, or obscuring substances, including radioactive powder.
The krutok supplement includes a table to determine what random mutation one of its heads unleashes each round, plus a sac rupture table, along with a brief servant table. These mentally subservient, drooling captives are controlled by the krutok to do its bidding, endure its sick torments, carry its stuff, and sacrifice themselves when the master creature is attacked. Learn more about this horrid new mutie in the 6 page PDF.
Check out our social media feeds to see all new post-apocalyptic monstrosities each Monday until we add this next dozen to the collection. We’re on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, MeWe.com, as well as Enworld.org and RPG.net to list only a few places. See all these links at our webpage. Once we get to 24 new creatures, we’ll put them, and 6 more surprise freaks, in a new bestiary book for all of you who like a printed mutant manual at your game table!
As with all Monday Mutants, feel free to toy with the krutok’s stats for personal use and expose these mind crushing, lighting emitting monstrosities with another game system. But please note that these god-awful things do best when unleashed in the fast-paced Outland System used by The Mutant Epoch RPG.
