Description
Name: Roperite

Aliases: O'l Lasso Face

Factions: More information available at a later date.

Status: -Active throughout recent history, 100's of years back at least.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Rank: 1

Measurements:

Height: 2.5 meters at head

Length: 4 meters including tail and lasso

Weight: Lightweight

Powers:

Normal:

-Elastic Lasso- The flexible fleshy tentacle that extends from its snout is slightly elastic, able to stretch farther than it seems able to to snag prey or enemies and bring them to its mouth for a killing bite.

Special:

- Terrifying Rattle - The rattle on its tail causes a sense of unreasonable terror in weaker willed animals, monsters, and humans, and will cause those individuals to flee.

Weaknesses:

- Small and Soft-Roperites share the same weakness with the other small Fearsome Critters. They are fairly easily taken down with small firearms.

- Scatterbrained - Roperties are easily distracted by strange smells, sights, or similar interesting input.

Personality:

Roperites are strange, fast little monsters that live mostly in the scrublands and deserts. It shares its territory with several other Fearsome Critters, including the Tripodero. It will eat the ones that are smaller than itself, but leaves the larger and similar sized Critters alone unless provoked. They will grab at humans with their lasso, but as they don't seem interested in causing harm, this might just be curiosity.

Bio:

Rhys Green stared at the retreating figure of the strange, telepod monster and decided that he didn't feel much like hiking anymore. Making sure the pictures he had snapped had actually come out clear and the short video was good, he turned around and started the relatively short trek back to his jeep. He still felt a little numb from staring directly into the strange face of the equally strange creature, but it hadn't hurt him and he hadn't ever been particularly shaken by things that did him no harm.

Halfway to his car, he heard a rustle in the scrub behind him.

He froze, hoping it was just the indifferent if bizarre monster from before, and slowly turned around. He got about halfway through the turn when a thick, grey striped...something, wrapped around his chest and yanked him up off his feet.

He would deny, again, the strange squealing noise he made.

He dangled in the air about a foot or so off the ground, flailing his legs and arms, and heard a weird, high pitched gurgling noise. It almost sounded surprised. Then he was turned in the air to face the owner of the tentacle around him.

Standing taller than him but not by much, shorter than the last creature, was something that looked like a chicken on steroids. The fleshy tentacle was attached to a slightly lizard-like face, surrounded by a bright yellow crest of long feathers. The rest of its body was covered in brownish and cream colored fuzzy down, right up to it's long legs and bare tail, ended by three sharp claws and a long black rattle, respectively.

The thing tilted its head at him, turning him this way and that and looking at him from all angles, before it gave a short, wavering warble, and abruptly dropped him on his ass.

Sitting on the sandy ground, Rhys watched as the tentacle curled up, a bit like a very, very long elephant trunk, the short arms flapped like useless wings a few times, and the creature turned away from him and strutted away, seemingly bored of him now.

He didn't have the presence of mind to get pictures of this one, since at this time he was quite done with being outside for the day and bolted for his jeep and broke several traffic laws driving home, but the description was enough to get a name. Roperite, another impossible, improbable Fearsome Critter.

He seemed to be a Fearsome Critter magnet.

History: More information at a later date.

Important Dates:

Novemeber 5th, 2033: An encounter with a Roperite directly after an encounter with a Tripodero almost gives Rhys Green a heart attack, but delights the fledgeling online Kaijuology sect.
