Drop Bear
Basic info: Drop bears are elusive marsupials, known for a vicious bloodlust and amazing climbing ability. They’re masters of stealth, and are highly deceptive.
Mandatory changes:
-sharp fangs in place of front teeth
-thick claws in place of fingernails
- an enhanced climbing ability. Drop bears have extremely strong arm muscles and can lift and support themselves with ease
-thick insulated fur on the arms, shoulders, legs, and/or face
-The ability to become completely invisible for one hour a day.
-a drive to nest. Dropbears may make nests or houses of branches and leaves in trees
-the need to feed on human flesh. Drop bears are ambush predators
-a pouch or pocket of skin on the midsection
-thick protective pads on the palms of the hand and fingers
Optional changes:
-Any psychological changes are welcome! Feel free to pull from real world myths, canon creatures of this variety, or any other source!
-A fog form. This is an exaggerated version of their monster form that appears only during the fog and is a chance to make your monster more "horrifying" during the fog.
- a travel form. This form is smaller and can move faster, but is not more vulnerable
-a shorter stature. Drop bears may be up to a foot and a half shorter than their original height
- a second thumb on each hand to allow for better grasping
-a short prehensile tail, strong enough to support themselves like a fifth limb and wrap around branches
-Facial features more like those of the animal they’re based on
Additional info and traits:
X-No extra powers apart from the ones listed above. This includes special unique traits (extra poison, special fur, etc) the creature your monster is based on would have. If you are unsure, ask in the FAQ (the link is below)
X- a drop bear’s pouch is no stronger than normal skin, and won’t withstand holding things like sharp, hot, or corrosive objects
