Voroos
Voroos exist on a large number of planets and can live in almost any environment. They are predators, but instead of relying on speed to capture their prey, they rely on subterfuge, concealing themselves by mimicking natural geological features.

Voroos are large, legless reptiles who possess extremely strong and dexterous tongues which they use to capture their prey. When a likely target comes within range, they open their mouths and extend their tongues like tentacles, wrapping them around the target and pulling it into their gaping mouths.

Voroos are most commonly found in moist areas, such as bogs and marshlands, where they are mistaken for mossy hills or submerged tree trunks. There have been reports of voroos being found in deserts (disguised as bare stones or sand dunes) and in frozen wastelands.

As voroos are generally immobile, zoologists are puzzled as to their methods of reproduction. The current accepted theory is that the palak, a tiny, almost microscopic flying beetle, shares a large amount of genetic material with the voroos. The palak exchanges genetic material with voroos, and then carries fertilized gametes to new homelands. This process has been the subject of some study, but is still not fully understood.


Type: Stationary predator
Size: 1 to 10 meters in diameter
Move: 0
Scale: Character
Source: Creatures of the Galaxy p.87
DEXTERITY: 4D
PERCEPTION: 2D
STRENGTH: 4D


Special Abilities:
Camouflage: Voroos are often mistaken for small hills or other geographical features. Because of this, characters must make a Difficult Perception roll to notice the presence of the voroos before the voroos makes its initial attack.
Teeth: The teeth of the voroos do little damage (one half of the creature's Strength), but they do make it extremely difficult to extract objects from the mouth. Attempts to free a character from the grasp of the mouth of a voroos results in an additional 3D damage.
Tongue: The tongue of the voroos does STR+1D damage. When the voroos makes a successful attack with its If tongue, it will attempt to grasp its target. The target character should make a brawling parry roll versus the Dexterity of the voroos. If the character's roll is higher, then the attempt to grasp is unsuccessful. Characters that have been grasped by the voroos are then pulled into its mouth during the next round. Characters can attempt to prevent themselves from being pulled into the mouth of the voroos by using their Strength versus the Strength of the voroos.

Notes:
STR: 4D / 6D / 8D (depending on size)
