A few weeks ago, I had some guys out to cut down a tree in the front yard. They worked fast like a gang of chainsaw locusts. I made a comment about this on the G+ Mutant Crawl Classics Community and folks said it should be a monster. So I did and threw them into my 0 Level funnel. They proved quite interesting against a mob of mutated meatbags.
Chainsaw Locusts are “small” (about 8 inches long) mutated flying insects. Their most outstanding feature are their mandibles which appear and work like a pair of tiny chainsaws ripping through flora and fauna with little effort.
Chainsaw Locust: Init +1; Atk bite +1; Dmg 1d3; AC 12; HP 9; MV 15′ (30′ Flying); SV +1 Fort, Ref +2, Will +0; AL N; Special: On a Crit, the Chainsaw Locust burrows into the flesh of the target automatically causing damage each round. Additionally,they use 1d7 for their Crit Die.
Yep, pretty nasty against 0 Levels. I rolled poorly so there weren’t any crits but there were a couple of deaths. I’ve more crazy ideas for monsters but I’ll post those after I throw them at the player characters and see how they work out.
As a side note, I’m becoming the “DCC guy at the FLGS”. I suppose that’s a good thing. I should start getting my schedule together and seriously think about the World Tour.
