As requested here is an oldie but goody (pg. 8 of Paranormal Animals Of Europe for the original)

Abrams Lobster.


The Abrams Lobster is an awakened lobster found off the coasts of the North Sea. They measure 2.5 meters in length and can easily weigh more than 100Kg and have a distinctive deep blue/blue-gray coloring. They are heavily armored and equipped with massive claws able to cut open even the toughest of ship armor. They are aggressive and territorial with very little in the way of intellect or cunning. Some corporations have attempted to use them for security purposes; however they are not easily trained or contained. They are rare in the wild, but fortunately they are not hunted for their meat as it is rancid and has a strong ammonia odor. They are as durable and combat capable as the tank they are named after.

Shouldn't the DV be 6P not 6S ?

I was debating that, but it is crushing damage not slicing damage. In the end I went to S because that's what it dealt in the original.

FYI-S in the original Paranormal anamals of europe stood for severe wound not stun. Also if it can damage vehicles it would have to be P.

Another thought-reach should be 0 and maybe give it infitration (2) specialization underwater environment.

OK, its been a while since I used the old rules. I'll modify it to P rather than S. The Reach +1 was called out pretty specifically though. Not to sure about a stealthy lobster. I'll have to see what other people think about that. Maybe camouflage?

Hmm. I think I take issue with it not being tasty.

As a New Englander I can tell you, the bigger the lobster the worst it tastes (in my experences).
Wesley Street
True.
