[Starcraft Stats] Ultralisk

[ShneekeyTheLost]

The Ultralisk is the largest Zerg unit in the game. It's size, strength, nearly unpenetratable armor, and ferocity make it a formidable foe. It is a four-legged monstrosity with wicked claws it uses to rend it's foes asunder.

Level Adjustment:-[/table]Hive Mind (Ex)

All Zerg are in constant communication via Overlords, and Cerebrates. If one is aware of a particular danger, they all are. If one in a group is not flat-footed, none of them are. Zerg units are highly resistant to any form of mind-affecting abilities due to the Overmind being present in their mind already. This gives them a +4 to their Will Saves, and any mind-affecting spell, power, or ability needs to overcome a SR/PR 25.

Advancement

At 15 HD, the Ultralisk is considered to be an Advanced Ultralisk. It gains a +2 Enhancement Bonus to hit and damage with all natural attacks, gains +5 Natural Armor, it's DR increases to 15/U238 or Adamantine and DR 8/- respectively, and it's speed increases to 60.

Now what would the stats be for the Torrasque? (Hidden missions enemy, had twice the numerical stats of the normal fully-upgraded Ultralisk in the hidden missions between Episodes V and VI.)

I'd make the Ultralisk gargantuan, actually... if you've seen the intro to SC Ghost, you'll see how big they are.

They are massive.

Quick question on chemistry: Is U238 actively radioactive, or depleted uranium?

Quick question on chemistry: Is U238 actively radioactive, or depleted uranium?

U238 is Depleted Uranium. It's a Marine gear upgrade.

Basically, how the DR works is that anything that doesn't use depleted uranium has DR 10 against, but anything with depleted uranium only has to contend with DR5 (until it advances, of course).

Well, fortunately that one is right in the SRD (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/tarrasque.htm)!

Heh, probably in all reality it's going to be an Advanced Ultralisk with Regeneration 10 and a few more hit dice to increase the hit points.
