"WHAT'S NUKED, SCOOBY-DOOMSDAY?" — KARKINOID


Karkinoids (or "man-crabs") are immense, 12' tall crustaceans that reach heights of 20' when telescoping upon their middle limbs.  The ornery beings possess freakish speed, agility, and maneuverability, and make impossible leaps with ease.  Karkinoids often attack by surprise from under ground, to better drag victims to their subterranean lairs.

Karkinoids trigger hives, swelling, and respiratory distress to all those with shellfish allergies if within a Medium Burst Template of the beasts.
