#burtannus

She crosses the line from being protective of her children to smashing villages because they may perhaps some infinitesimal chance threaten her children miles away.

If she was human, she’d be the type of person to call the police on a black dude for “looking suspicious” for just for minding their own buisiness.

Burtannus (Dark Horse)

​

Neutral subterranean reptilian

Travel Methods: Land, Burrowing

Height: 60 meters

Weight: 70,000 metric tons

Comic Appearances: Godzilla, King of the Monsters #13

Powers:

Electrical Horn - Burtannus is capable of sending an electric current through her horn to shock her foe, as well as discharging the energy in the form of a Power Arc Bolt.

Spikes - Burtannus' long tail is tipped with a crown of spikes which complement the appendage's use as a bludgeon.

Armor - Burtannus has added protection around its body in the form of a tough armor-plated hide.

Burrowing - This race of creatures are primarily underground dwellers and extraordinary burrowers. They always count the amount of Cover on a battlefield as ONE CATEGORY HIGHER (+5 BONUS to their DPN), up to the maximum of EXTREME (+20).

Bite - Burtannus' size is such that she possesses immense biting strength, further augmented by the large beak over her mouth.

Weaknesses:

Light- Burtannus is a nocturnal and subterranal beast, leery of bright lights, BEFORE THE BATTLE BEGINS, roll a d6. On a roll of 1-2, the battle occurs during the brightest part of the day, REDUCING Burtannus;s Power Number by -5

Personal Primal Number: - 78 -Mother's Priorities- - Burtannus' opponent (or a group bystanders) has stumbled across her nest of young children! Now fully enraged at the threat to her progeny, Burtannus' Power Number increases +10 for EACH CHILD uncovered. Roll a d6. If an ODD number, there is 1. An EVEN number there are 2. Burtannus can power up to the maximum 90 and immediately attacks after this roll. Her opponent CAN NOT make a Defense Roll against this attack.

The children cannot make attack rolls. Each CHILD's Power Number is HALF that of their parent. (If an odd number, round DOWN). They can only take 1 WOUND before being defeated but do have Defense Rolls.

Only Burtannus has to be defeated to win the match.

If Burtannus has children remaining, and A ROUND PASSES WITHOUT Burtannus or her children being attacked after this number is rolled, Burtannus will take the opportunity to escort her kids to safety, LEAVING THE TOURNAMENT and Forfeiting the match.

Special Rules: - Overprotective Mother - Burtannus has been known to perform pre-emptive strikes on anything that may threaten her children, going on a terrifying rampage. Roll a d10 BEFORE any Pre-Battle Events. If a 1, Burtannus has levelled the area reducing the Cover Bonus by ONE CATEGORY dealing with a threat real or imagined.

Added weaknesses, and revised Personal Primal Number and Special rules to fit her

Personal Primal Number: - 78 - Mother's Fury - Burtannus' opponent has stumbled across her nest of young children! Now fully enraged at the threat to her progeny, Burtannus' Power Number increases +10 for EACH CHILD uncovered. Roll a d6. If an ODD number, there is 1. An EVEN number - 2. Burtannus can power up to the maximum 90 and immediately attacks after this roll. Her opponent CAN NOT make a Defense Roll against this attack.

Special Rules: - They Grow Up So Fast - If the match goes OVER 7 ROUNDS, Burtannus' children have had time to grow large enough to help their mother. Roll a d6 to determine the number of children. If an ODD number, there is 1. An EVEN number - 2. Each CHILD's Power Number is HALF that of their parent. (If an odd number, round DOWN). When the ORIGINAL Burtannus attacks, the children do as well. They can only take 1 HIT before being defeated but do have Defense Rolls.

This rule applies every time a MULTIPLE OF 7 ROUNDS is reached.

Happy Mothers’ Day!
