The Weta-rex Swarm Adapted From King Kong ( 2006) For Cepheus Atom & Those Old School 2d6 Science Fantasy Role Playing Campaigns

 Deinacrida rex or Weta-rex, are a major mutated specialist predator & scavenger of the highest order. These prehistoric like highly specially evolved crickets are capable of ripping off limbs & major appendages of animals & men easily. The over evolved crickets grow to over meter long with large meat slicing jaws & operate in large pack tactic using swarms. These swarms use clicking,scent trails, and pack tactics to take down even small dinosaurs or even the odd Kaiju. Even armed parties of men are little issue for the weta-rex swarms. 

Weta-Rex are the terror of many a ship wrecked or starship crewmen. These pests travel on oversized kaiju & have hitched rides across the cosmos. The serpent men also used these highly dangerous predators to protect their temple fortresses for ages. 
Weta rex usually prefer damp & wet environs to lay their eggs which hatch within 1d6 days. The Weta Rex is able to after two hours of drying it's carpace go on the hunt & will be attracted to it's own individual swarm. Swarms of weta rex can & do easily evolve to their indevidual evironments. These horrors have been found on desert planets, exo Earths, and even the occassional abandoned starship's hold. 

Weta rex are considered vermin by ninety percent of alien races. Big Ass Reptiles are the exception and often feed on these horrors eating entire swarms in one sitting. 
Weta rex are excellent hunters & operate with both dark vision & highly sensitive anntenna in total darkness easily. Swarms often send out scouts to hunt down potential prey targets. These scouts sent out scent trails & are able to summon the swarm with a series of high pitched clicks in code. The swarm will arrive within 1d6 turns easily overcoming targets many times their size. 

Weta-rex shade carpaces every 30 days or so depending upon prey availabilty. If prey is unavailable the swarm may turn on it's weakest members. And this process will continue until only a fertilized female remains. She will lay eggs for the next swarm which will hatch within 1d6 months or if in a desert enviroment may be 2d6 years.Swarms of Weta-rex often hitch rides on kaiju to find new hunting grounds. They often entire hiberation cycles when finding new hunting ground. 
Weta rex are most dangerous when they come out of a hibernation cycle. The swarm will seek out any fresh meta or prey after emerging from such a cycle under cover of darkness. Weta-rex will then go on a feeding frenzy overwhelming prey and stripping anyone they come across down to the bone.

The Deplector Adapted From King Kong (2005) For Cepheus Atom & Those Old School 2d6 Science Fantasy Role Playing Campaigns

 There are some things that live on & around Kuiju. The Deplector is one such crusteasn  like giant  species.  The Deplector loves to lair itself within the creavices & cracks around low lying areas of Kuiju activity. There these eight foot long scavengers can feed on debris, radiation, and the occassional victim who stumbles into their enviroments. 



These land & underworld giant crusteans feed off anything they can get their claws into. While females could reach up to eight feet in length, males were scarcely larger than a newly-hatched female. They dwell in the back of the female's cavern, fertilizing their eggs and eating scraps of the female's prey.   Hanging in place, with their enormous pincers folded almost Mantis-style in front of them, they wait for small prey to pass the mouths of their holes. Their long antennae are sensitive to vibrations in the air, enabling them to pinpoint prey despite lacking eyes. The bite from one of these horrors causes deplector disease resulting in the prey shaking, having fits, and being easy victims unless a saving throw is made. 





The Deplector lives in the shadow of many Kaiju & these eight foot long horrors often lay their eggs on the bodies of the giant horrors. There are often Deplector swarms that have to be cleaned out after a Kaiju has moved through an area. The Mi Go and other mythos creatures or races cultivate Deplector swarms as clean up crew. Making these monsters a problem even on interstellar worlds as infestations can be found anywhere?! Big Ass Reptiles love to feed on swarms of Deplectors as a light snack.

The New Foetodon Updated Adapted From King Kong (2005) For Cepheus Atom & Those Old School 2d6 Science Fantasy Role Playing Campaigns

 Foetodon is a species of large predatory crocodilian from one of the Skull Island land masses seen during the 1930's Venture expediation. These large  predators have carved out a niche on both Skull Island & the Hollow Earth as premeire scavengers. They range from 10 to 15 feet long & are capable of taking off a man's arm quite easily. 

The Foetodon species of large predatory crocodilians have been found on other Earth type worlds as well. Speculation among scientists & other top men is the fact that aliens adapted the species as a top tier scavenger for a wide variety of enviroments. The Foetodon species internal biology has been adapted to feed on a wide spectrum of biological offal & waste. The incredible gut fauna & stomach acids have incredible industurial applicationsThe Foetodon is adapted for both predatory & scavenger roles. 
What makes the   Foetodon species so dangerous is the fact that these monsters use pack tactics to run down prey in jungle & other planetary  enviroments. 
Using a combination of it's snaggled toothed jaws, highly virulant bacteria, & a cocktail of 
anticoagulant venoms the  Foetodon will run down prey. Take a bite & then let it's bite do the rest. Unless treated with modern medicine or super science medical treatments. The bite & massive tissue damage will result in the prey subcombing to it's injuries. Large packs of Foetodon have been known to take down even Skull Crawlers when times are tough. Foetodon are known to feed on Rock Critters within the Hollow Earth & the Big Ass Reptile species are rivals  to massive packs of Foetodon. Many know the Foetodon by thier fearsome roar which causes fear in creatures smaller then human size. Foetodon packs have been used by Mythos species as living security systems for eons. This includes the Serpent Men, Mi Go, & the Desert Dwellers.

Venatosaurus Adapted From King Kong ( 2006) For Cepheus Atom & Those Old School 2d6 Science Fantasy Role Playing Campaigns

 Venatosaurus ("hunter lizard") was a medium sized theropod dinosaur that lived on Skull Island, and were the descendants of a group of non-avian dinosaurs called dromaeosaurids. It was 16-24 feet long, but fairly lightweight for its size. Specially adapted for the circumstances of the Skull Island chain. 


Venatosaurus  are the terror of many a ship wrecked & lost sailor who found themselves on the shores of the Skull Island chain. The Venatosaurus are the terror of any dinosaurs & even some of the largest kaiju. The Venatosaurus  swarm their prey in a hail of bodies biting, clawing, & ripping apart anything that comes under their claws. Highly intelligent and social, Venatosaurus lived in packs of six to twelve or more full-grown adults and assorted young. They preferred jungles to the open grasslands, as the thick forests provide cover for them and nests for their young. Venatosaurus nests were dug out amid the roots of giant jungle trees. 























These monsters were used extensively during World War II as guard animals by several super science villains. And responsible for the destruction of at least eight facilities of both the Japanese & Allied forces who got too close to the Skull Island inner Earth chain entrance.

Skull Crawlers Adapted From King Kong Skull Island For Cepheus Atom & Those Old School 2d6 Science Fantasy Role Playing Campaigns


This place was home to Kong's entire species. It was their paradise, until the Skullcrawlers came. They laid waste to everything.„ 


— Riccio, having a vision of the battle between Kong's species and Skullcrawlers.



 Hailing from the Inner Earth, Skull Crawlers were discovered in 1933 by the German Krabermman expediation to San Sabastian island in the Pacific an unstable volcanoic island. The Skull Crawlers were rediscovered by the 1973 Monarch Land Sat project. See the Kong file here
The Skull Crawler Kaiju are some of the most dangerous examples of a non terrestial species yet encountered. They are fast, dangerous, & live to consume the flesh & bone of other kaiju. Because of their highly spend up metabolism meets that these kaiju are perpetually hungry. 
The Skull Crawlers exists to devour, destroy, and dominate.
It has been well documented that the Skull Crawlers were responsible for the destruction of several units of Allied troops during the Pacific campaign of World War II. 














Skull Crawlers attack anything that they can stuff into their mouth parts using a prehensile tongue to smell any traces of flesh or blood on the air. These bastard Kaiju use a combination of speed, violence, & sheer malice to take down prey many times their size. They also eat humans with a varicity boarding on mania. The Skull Crawlers often are found any place where a volcanic vent opens into the inner Earth works. Skull crawlers will work in packs of 2d6 to take down massive Kaiju prey many times their size. The skull crawler has an incredibly simple & yet highly effienct acidic laced three chambered  stomach. This alien kaiju stomach will hold many times the weight of one of these eternally hungry Kaiju. Even Rock Critters are often prey for Skull Crawlers & the Big Ass Reptile species are rivals to these mega predators. 













Skull Crawlers have been extensively exploited by several Mythos races including being used as living  biological weapons by Deep Ones against humanity in ancient past. They have also been used by the Mi Go at several of the Pacific based installations. Skull Crawlers are also found in interstellar space around the bases of the Elder Things at some of thier oldest facilities.

Rock Critters For Cepheus Atom & Those Old School 2d6 Science Fantasy Role Playing Campaigns

 Rock Critters are a scavenger like Kaiju have been seen at the outer edges of the solar system & near the ruins of some of the god forsaken ancient outpost worlds  of the Anunnaki. They have also been found in Inner Earth. These scavengers always appear where there have been the mining works of the Anunnaki. Rock Critters are fast moving, deadly scavengers just as likely to eat a human as the debris left behind by slave races of  the Anunnaki. They have  deadly bile like acid that can eat through most manmade materials easily. 
These deadly little bastard Kaiju rely on camouflage, stealth, & their unnatural biological shells that are made from naturally secreted resign, internally created metal, & the Kauju's weird biological make up. The speculation is that they were biologically created by the Anunnaki to serve the job of organic ore separators.. These fast moving scavengers feed on anything they can stuff into their ore like bladed mouth parts. Rock Critters never appear alone & always work in swarm colonies of 2d6 monsters. These colonies have become a hassle on the post apocalyptic Earth as these monsters have migrated with the coming of the Anunnaki. Big Ass Reptiles are often found in areas with large infestations of Rock Critters where the feeding is good. 

Rock Critters are often found now scavenging off the mine workings of the Mi Go. The alien fungi often exterminate the Rock Critters with extreme prejudice as the monsters have been know to swarm some Mi Go asteroid outposts
