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

 The Vultursaur, Vultursaurus, is a weird, nocturnal, flying non-avian paravian with bat-like wings from the chasms and jungles of Skull Island. It has a 20-25 inch wingspan. What makes the Vultursaur so dangerous is the fact that it carries the Kaiju spread Skull Island Fever. 

Vultursaurus is a dusk & nocturnal predator of insects, small rodents, and even a bit of carrion. Swarms of Vultursaurus often nest within the folds of skin of giant Kaiju. Where they feed upon the alien insects & other parasitic lifeforms of giant creatures. 
And this is where the Vultursaurus pick up & carry Skull Island Fever named after the Endeavor expediation of 1935. Skull Island fever acts as respitory & bodily fluid borne disease which infects those around the victims. Victims quickly begin internal hemmoraging & organ shut down within 2d6 hours. Skull Island fever has been seeen as far away as the wastelands of Californoriia & China. The strange radiations of Kaiju stoke the fires of the unusual bacteria of the fever that the Vultursaurus swarms carry. These tiny predator often flock into urban areas to feed on ironically on tiny vermin such as mice & rats. All of the while these flocks spread the contagion. 
Many wasteland settlements welcome the 
 Vultursaurus swarms to special outer settlement rookeries where they are used as primitive bioweapons against invaders. The little unusual predators have incredibly sharp claws capable of shredding flesh like tissue paper. 

The Vultursaurus is the sole surviving descendant of a second dynasty of flying theropods that developed bat-like wing membranes instead of feathers.The Vultursaurus can be found almost anywhere that Kaiju have passed within the wastelands because of the creatures shedding these formitable little predators in their wake & passing.

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

 There are monsters that haunt the dreams of explorers & adventurers across the world. The Arachno- Claw  is another  oversized arthropod that lives in the shadows of Kaiju everywhere in the wastelands & jungles of the 'Old World'. These horrifying carnavores & scavengers are the ultimate opportunists. They are adapted to feeding in darkness or twilight conditions. The  Arachno- Claw  is adapted to feed on anything that comes it way tearing it's prey into bit sized chunks that it can easily digest.Arachno- Claws attack with two devestating pincers & a vicious bite. 

Arachno- Claw  life cycle is truly the stuff of nightmares with the female laying her eggs in carrion & raw meat. The Arachno- Claw  clutch then eat their way out of the host within 1d6 days. These oversized anthropods then find the rest of their clutch brothers & sisters in the semi darkness of caves & caverns nearby. A chemical scent trail is used by these horrors to mark terrority & hunting grounds. Arachno- Claws can be found in a wide variety of enviroments & places because of the fact that some subspecies live on and within the skin flaps of various Kaiju species. Arachno- Claws hunting tactics are the ambush. They look like a giant trapdoor spider, with six legs and powerful claws.Arachno- Claws have six legs that are used to walk, with two crab-like claws under their mouths, which are used to rip prey. Because the Arachno- Claws are a parasitic species in many ways to giant Kaiju they can be found almost anywhere. 

The Arachno- Claw is drawn to dark places & tight spaces usually with other giant vermin. Vermin who are drawn to the strange radiations of the various Kaiju species.  Arachno- Claws are able to call upon 2d6 other claws within 2 rounds with the loud clicking of their claws a sound which no adventurer soon forgets.

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.
