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

The twisted torqs are 9'-tall slabs of hairless, hideous, mangled muscle. Their bodies are so warped, the creatures no longer feel pain.  Preternaturally agile despite their deformities, torqs climb, leap, and brachiate at full movement rate no matter the terrain or obstacles.  Torqs even secrete a "sleeper toxin"!

Best way to deal with a torq?  Blast it—repeatedly, and vigorously—from afar.
