Gamma World Conversion: Menarl R.C.C.


From the biological archives of Lazlo:

Menarl Species: Menarlia Menarlia

Background: The Menarls are a race of aquatic reptilian D-Bees that emerged from a Rift about 50 years ago somewhere in the southwester part of what was once the United States. They generally travel alone or in small bands. Although on their home world they were nomadic hunter gatherers, they are quite intelligent, and have adapted quickly to modern technology. Although they rarely wear armor because of their body shape, most carry energy weapons. They are very similar to snakes biologically, and prefer to eat recently live or very recently dead food whole, allowing their powerful digestive system do the work. They reproduce quickly, and can now be found all over North America.

Appearance: Menarls appear to be 10 meter long snakes with five to eight pairs of arms sprouting from their bodies. They use these arms for both locomotion and manipulation. Although they appear to have a cobra-like head, they are not poisonous.
