https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Creature_Feature_Creation_Table_for_/tg
First thing to roll:
Creature environment or World? (d100)
Rolled 81 (1d100)
>>46326200
>>46326693
Lava/Magma - "The creature prefers the hot temperatures and dead landscape near volcanoes."

Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>46326699
>>46326731
Awwwwww shieeeeet
>>46326731
Lives off the volcano then, surely
Should these things be native to Brachyura, since that's a volcanic world on our map?
>>46326731
Doesn't Eat - "It has evolved in such a way that it lives off some other form of sustenance such as sunlight, radiation, chemical compounds or the warp itself. It may not even have a mouth."
How does the creature reproduce? (d10)
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>46326767
Rolled 4 (1d10)
>>46326731
I guess it gains its energy and nutrients from siphoning off thermal heat and filtering essential compounds from magma flow.
>>46326762
Let's make this its own thing for now
>>46326767
Rollan
>>46326781

>>46326786
>>46326793
Tremorsense confirmed
>>46326793
Detects its environs using EM sensing node in body to locate nutrients and other organisms in the magma, much like how Electric Eels can use small electromagnetic pulses

>>46326882
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>46326882
We Petramand now

Rolled 3 (1d4)
>>46326910
>>46326916
Nurgle I guess?

Rolled 4 (1d6)

Skin/Surface type?(d12)
Rolled 4 (1d12)
>>46326978
>>46326983
Fur/Hairs - "Usually a warm blooded creature who's skin has fur or some kind of hair. Often found in mammalia."
Do you guys want a re-roll for this or stick with this skin type?
Rolled 7 (1d12)
>>46326988
Reroll
>>46326997
Feathers - "Feathers make up the creature's surface. Many avian creatures have feathers."
Do you guys want to roll for attributes? That is only if you want to stat it for a 40k game. We can still do abilities since those can add onto how our creature look like
Rolled 2 (1d12)
>>46326988
Stick. Maybe the fur acts as a downy coat to prevent from lava sticking, like with Desert Moles and sand
LAVA MOLES WITH WINGS!
>>46327008
Roll for the stats then fluff it up I think would be best.
>>46327010
Killer lava moles sounds pretty great to me.
>>46327013
Ok, roll 11 d3's then
Rolled 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 3, 3, 1, 2, 3, 2 = 21 (11d3)
>>46327030
Also, pushing for winged lava moles
Rolled 1, 3, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1 = 21 (11d3)
>>46327030
>>46327052
Predator* +1
Slow-Witted* Counts as Initiative 1
Resilient +1 Wound (it should have had the weak attribute, but I gave it +wounds to compensate for the slow initative)
Ok, now roll 1d3 for each ability that we got, and that will apply that many times as a stat
Rolled 1, 3, 2 = 6 (3d3)
>>46327086
>Predator
>doesn't eat
Can someone explain
>>46327098
Highly territorial?
>>46327098
Ok so we have:
>+1 to WS
>Nothing can be added or lost with the Initiative
>+2 wounds
Ok, now onto Abilities. One d10 please
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>46327113
Makes sense, and maybe it has highly aggressive courtship rituals
>>46327129
Rollan
>>46327144
Keep rolling for abilities until you hit an ability that would put you over your creature size's allotted point limit.
Our point limit is: 25
Let's just roll 1d35 at a time untill we hit 25 points then
>>46327144
>Keep rolling for abilities until you hit an ability that would put you over your creature size's allotted point limit.
I am so erect
No wonder they havent bothered to get rid of this critter!
Also questions for>>46327129
How big is this varmit?
>>46327164
First of hopefully many
>>46327167
Im guessing horse sized?
>>46327167
Medium
Rolled 32 (1d35)
>>46327177
Work you stupid dice app
>>46327186
Spine Burst (Flora Only)
re-roll
Rolled 23 (1d35)
>>46327195
>>46327273
Musk 6p (19p left)
Enemies suffer a -1 initiative penalty Initiative when in base to base contact with this creature.
Ok, roll again, 1d35
Rolled 8 (1d35)
>>46327291
>>46327299
Disorienting Attack 4p (15p left)
Instead of making a shooting attack or running in the shooting phase, the creatures unit may instead place a large template over an enemy model within 12" and roll 2D6. If the number equals or exceeds the number of models under the template the target unit is disoriented for the duration of the opposing player's turn. They must move D6" in a random direction and can only shoot, run or assault if the first pass a leadership test
We need more 1d35's
Rolled 35 (1d35)
>>46327314
Starting to see why these things killed a deamon now.
>>46327363
Vampirism 4p (11p left)
For each unsaved wound the creature causes, it may attempt a strength test. (a 6 always fails) If passed then it adds one wound to its base profile for the remainder of the game. Though it may not exceed twice the number of its starting wounds.
roll moar!!
>>46327363
>smelly winged vampires that don't eat
>>46327380
They do eat, just in ways that we don't consider normal (or sane)
Rolled 29 (1d35)
>>46327379
So it saps the heat out of its opponents after disorientating them. Its basically a giant heat tick.
>>46327426
Regeneration 7p (4p left)
The creature gains It Will Not Die, in addition if the creature is slain then roll a D6, on a 5+ it will stand back up next turn with one wound remaining, if the test is failed then remove the model as normal.
Alright, someone else roll for the final power.
>>46327453
Lava Skunk-hedgehog that sucks heat, GO
Rolled 12 (1d35)
>>46327479
Fuck, forgot the roll
>>46327479
Its not got spines or hair, but feathers.
>>46327494
Entagle costs 5 points so it can't be added. So we have:
>musk
>Disorienting Attack
>Vampirism 4p
>Regeneration 7p
>>46327522
Smelly, winged, unkillable vampires who live in lava and don't eat are GO
>>46327535
Should they be a thing on a planet in the Vasenica sector?
>>46327549
Yeah, sure
What shall we call this xeno?
>>46327642
A Vasen Bug
Even though its feathery, i get the bug vibe from this thing.
>>46327690
maybe feathers could actually be chitinous protrusions / structures to act as a more hardy barrier between debris or lava?
>>46327642
Ignan fire eater
>>46327722
So chitin feathers?
Sounds cool, they could of course spread these out and ruffle them up to vastly increase surface area around their food source (heat) as a method of feeding alongside protection.
Should the male and females look diffrent from each other?
>>46327793
Maybe different colouring, or different shaped chitin quills, but unless its a hive type creature theres not much point.
>>46326200
How about we decided upon what it uses to manipulate objects like does it have arms and hands or does it have scythe like appendages?
>>46327933
How about if it uses claws and a long tounge?
>>46328008
Sounds good using the life leech stuff with the tongue right?
If someone is fluffing out Brachyura or any other volcanic planet in the Vasenica sector, then add this as part of the fauna
>>46326200
I have a soft spot for clicking monsters.
