ZOMBIE A79100, Brawling-1; Hands, Teeth.

SKELETON 777100, Sword-1; Sword; NOTE: weapons that rely on a sharp point deal only 1 point of damage per attack to the skeleton; weapons that rely on a sharp edge deal only half damage to the skeleton; heavy blunt weapons and explosives deal full damage.

SKELETON ARCHER 777100, Short Bow-1, Brawling-0; Short Bow, 20 arrows, Claws; NOTE: weapons that rely on a sharp point deal only 1 point of damage per attack to the skeleton; weapons that rely on a sharp edge deal only half damage to the skeleton; heavy blunt weapons and explosives deal full damage.

GHOUL 9B9520, Brawling-2; Claws, Teeth; NOTE: after each combat with a ghoul in which the character was hit by a ghoul, the character should roll END or less of 2D to avoid contracting Neo-Rabies which, if untreated, will turn the character into a ghoul in 5d6 nights; to treat, roll 8+, DM +Medic skill, DM-2 if not in a medical facility.

VAMPIRE 7D7880 Persuasion-2 Tactics-2 Sword-1 Brawling-1; Claws, Fangs; NOTE: These creatures have a Sophont-Invectious Vampiric Virus which requires them to drink blood at least two times a week and renders them both sterile and extremely sensitive to light; though exposure to light will not kill them, it will render them at -5 to all actions due to pain. The SIVV will render Vampires long-lived provided that they drink blood regularly, although they can eat whatever food that they could eat before infection.

A few natural and unnatural animals that will fit well in a fantasy-style adventure:

DRAGON Flying Killer, 800kg, hits 24/10(*), Cloth, Teeth+2 (5D damage), Claws+2 (5D damage), as Flamethrower (**), A3, F9, S3.
The Dragon is a large airborne predator native to a SIZE-3, ATM-8 world. Its fire-breathing capabilities stem from the fact that it could siphon and filter methane from its digestive tract and store it in two large sacks at its belly. The gas is then pumped through its mouth and ignited by a bio-electric spark-generating organ in its thorax. The Dragon carries enough methane in its sacks for 2D6 rounds of breathing fire; they will refill after a good meal and 6D6 hours of rest.
A Dragon's skin is strong, scaly and very light. A suit of armor may be made from this skin, requiring a Craft/DEX/-2 UGM task and 4D6 days of work. This armor will be similar to Jack in shape and weight, but will provide the protection of Cloth armor.
(*) Every time a Dragon is hit with an explosive or incendiary weapon, roll 9+ for its methane sacks to catch fire, painfully killing the creature and setting it on fire. Of course, if all of the methane in the sacks has been used up, ignore this rule.
(**) Flamethrowers are described as a cross between a laser and a shotgun.

HYDRA Killer, 6,000kg, hits 42/21*, Cloth**, Teeth x6*** (2Dx2 damage each), A2, F8, S1.
(* The hits given are for the main body; if the heads are attacked, each has 14/7 hits.)
(** The armor given is for the main body; the heads are treated as protected by Mesh.)
(*** The Hydra has 6 heads, each of them attacking each round. It is possible to severe the heads one by one (see above), reducing the number of attacks the creature has; however, its vital organs and brain are all in the main body, and all the heads will regrow within 1D6 weeks if the main body remains alive.)

Giant Rat Gatherer, 12kg, hits 7/7, No Armor, Teeth, A5, F6, S1.

Very Large Cockroach Gatherer, 6kg, hits 3/7, Cloth, Claws (actually mandibles; damage 1D-1D), A8, F3, S1.

Truly Giant Cockroach Gatherer, 50kg, hits 15/9, Battledress, Claws+1 (actually mandibles), A7, F5, S1.

Giant Lizard Killer, 50kg, hits 20/9, Mesh, Teeth, Claws, A1, F7, S1.

Wolf Chaser, 50kg, hits 14/7, No Armor, Teeth, A: If More, F4*, S3.

Warg Chaser, 100kg, hits 21/9, Teeth+2, A: If More, F10, and S3.

Tiger Pouncer, 200kg, hits 20/10, No Armor, Teeth+1 (3D damage), Claws+1, A: If Surprising, F: If Surprised, S2.

Smilodon (Saber-Toothed Cat) Pouncer, 200kg, hits 23/10, No Armor, Teeth+3 (3D damage), Claws+1, A: If Surprising, F: If Surprised, S2.

Mammoth Intermittent, 6,000kg**, hits 36/21, Cloth, Trample***, As Pike, As Cudgel (its trunk), A7, F8, S1.

Elephant Intermittent, 6,000kg**, hits 32/18, Mesh, Trample***, As Spear, As Cudgel (its trunk), A7, F8, S1.

(* Natural wolves would usually run away from humans unless the wolves are very hungry and/or rabid. However, wolves who are actual mongrels with dogs are far less fearful of humans; for them, use F9.)
(** Contrary to popular belief, real Mammoths weren't much larger than contemporary elephants.)
(*** How would you handle a trample attack by a mammoth or elephant? This is their strongest attack and a good way of defending itself.)

Chain, TL2, Cr250, treat as Mesh against melee or thrown weapons and as Jack against ranged weapons. Weights 4000 grams, and, unlike modern or Jack armor, counts against the Encumbrance limit.

Scale, TL1, Cr350, treat as Mesh+1 except weighs 4500 grams and counts.

Elven Chain, TL2, Cr2000, treat as Mesh-2, but weighting only 2000 grams and does not count against the Encumbrance limit.

Elven Scale, TL1, Cr2500, as Mesh-1 and weighs 2350 grams and does not count against the Encumbrance limit.

Plate, TL2, Cr1000, treat as Cloth against melee or thrown weapons, as Mesh against primitive ranged weapons and as Jack against modern firearms. Weights 10,000 grams, and, unlike modern or Jack armor, counts against the Encumbrance limit.

Elven Plate, TL2, Cr 5000, as Cloth-1 against melee or thrown weapons and Mesh against modern and primitive ranged weapons; weighs 7500 grams and counts two-thirds against the Encumbrance limit.

Elven or Gnomish bows and arrows positively affect the to-hit and armor-penetrating DMs by 2 and by 1 in order.

Dwarven hand weapons positively affect the to-hit and armor-penetrating DMs by 2.

SUGGESTED MODIFICATION: IMTU, a sling will do 1d6+2 damage, a shortbow and a sporting/light crossbow will do 2d6 damage, and a longbow or war crossbow will do 3d6 damagem, as will swords and cutlassed; short- and long-bows incur a -2 penalty when attempting to use while mounted, and slings incur a -3 penalty. Crossbows do not incur a penalty. This is intended to bring bow weapons in line with the historical usage of weapons. (Composite short- and longbows do exist, but they are the same thing as above with 1/3 more range than the regular weapons and do not incur a penalty while mounted.)

Reading about the Dirty Pair and some website mentioned how close their cat Mooghi was to a displacer beast. It had tentacles too.

I think in the anime it could pilot a ship and could interface with computers. It was certainly intelligent.

It could in the movies at least, but I don't recall seeing it too often in the TV series ... if at all.

I would think this to be more of an uplifted feline, than anything else. Originally it was a tiger, but was later drawn as an oversized house cat.
