Gamma World Conversion: Gazilla


Adapted from the original Gamma World animal found at http://www.bigfella.com/newwest.dir/aminals.html.


From the biological archives of Lazlo:

Gazilla

Species: Heloderma Suspectum Gigantis

Background: One of the most terrifying menaces of the deep deserts, are these gigantic mutant gila monsters. They constantly give off high levels of radiation. They can loose a mighty roar that can shatter M.D.C. materials. Gazilla Monsters hunt giant insects, and will sometimes mistake vehicles for prey animals. They occupy the top of the natural food chain, and only have each other and combat robots to look out for. They are very rarely encountered near settled areas. Rumors are that some Keepers of the Desert have tamed some of these beasts. Since Keepers are immune to radiation this is possible. Gazilla's don't seem capable of reproduction, and are actually a spontanous mutation that occasionally occures among the gila monster population since the coming of the rifts.

Appearance: Gazillas look similar to the gila monsters they sprang from, except they can grow over 50 feet long. They also seem to glow from the radiation they give off.
