5 Space Weapons For Lovecraftian Monsters For your Old School Space Opera


5 Space Weapons For Lovecraftian Monsters 
Deep One Bio Lens - This pulsing mass of Shaggothian material is held in the hands of a deep one & attaches to the circular veins in the clawed hands of the beast. The thing acts as a lens for the forces of the outer void & spews forth a ray of negative reverse planar energies. The thing only has a range of 40' but does 1d4 points of damage. This energy weapon will feed off of those not of the deep one heritage for 1 point of damage per day & take one point of wisdom. 4 charges 
The Mind Jewel of Leng - This 6 inch oval of crystal & woven metal shatters the minds of those it hits with a strange whirling ray of devastation for 1d3 points of damage. Those hit will lose 3 points of intelligence & wisdom as this weapon eats its way through the delicate parts of the brain. The effect is temporary but repeated hits may cause permanent damage. This weapon has 6 charges. Those hit must make a saving throw versus death to avoid the permanent effects of the ray.
 Tcho Tcho Flaying Tentacle - This 12 foot long preserved piece of gut it riddled with strange meteor glass fragments that stick into any one hit by this weapon. It does 1d4 points of damage & has a 20% of cutting a limb. The weapon sings songs from dead stars to itself when it enters combat. This may cause fear in creatures of 2 hit dice.
Shaggoth bits & pieces -Shaggoths have been known to leave little pieces of tissue & such laying around after attacks. These may be used as grenades by other races. They leak bits of  bio acid on those they hit for 1d3 points of damage. In space they will seek out the weak points in space armor & suits trying to get into the tasty bits inside. They must be kept in specially prepared containers of cut crystal spun from the dreams of mad men otherwise they may grow into mini shaggoths within 1d4 hours.
Serpent Minion Night Ripper - This simple wrist device of meteor iron from hell wrought stars discharges a strange spinning magic missile like energy dart. It has a range of 20' & hits like freight train. Those hit receive 1d3 points of damage as every nerve fiber is set alight with the brain. The minion can change the settings to only damage physical objects & pass through the tissue of living beings. Those it passes through will feel slightly sick & violated for 1d3 turns. 5 charges
