Cause for fear and panic amongst the wastelanders, Bloats are the Brood Mere’s latest attempts at psychological warfare. Biologically filling protruding bladder-sacs with a hydrogen/methane mix that is only a few molecular weights lighter than Samaria’s normal atmosphere, a Bloat drifts along on natural air currents like a massive, leathery airborne jellyfish. Steering using microjets of pressurized gases, they seek out living targets to engage and hopefully inflict terrifying and painful wounds upon them. Maiming far more often than killing their targets, Bloats sow fear and panic wherever they go. Wrapped in durable flesh to protect their explosively flammable insides, the Bloats are adequately armored and ringed in spiny protrusions. At its posterior however, are the three tentacles layered with tiny stinging nematocysts and thickly muscled; strong enough to break bone but used primarily to inflict pain. Targets get within a few yards of a Bloat and it will reach out and try to get its agonizing lashes upon them, but if they get even closer they have to watch for a different threat – the venting of combustible gas combined with a biostatic spark that wreathes the Bloat in a sheet of flame! Above all else, those brave enough to deal with the creature must deal with its most insidious defense mechanism…or rather its final revenge…combining its gases into a blazing explosion that might take their killer to the grave with them! Bloats are individuals that are part of some Brood forcelists; an aberration eerily flying toward the Brood Mere’s foes with alien intentions of terror in its genetic code. Resin and pewter kit. Comes with premium plastic base.
