CER: The Natural Encyclopedia: Blizzard Maker - Echidna, Giant

Echidna, Short Beak.

So this is part three of my series (previous page) on statting out the CER values of a bunch of monsters from a popular unofficial GURPS Bestiary. This project is longer than I anticipated. Oh Well!

Other Thoughts

Lies, d*ng lies, and Statistics. The eagle here comes out as a decent threat, almost as strong as a Giant Eagle, but mainly, it is just incredibly fast. Dread Stalker is invisible, but there are no numbers to reflect that. On the flipside, some of the single digit CER enemies like the Cloudrat are a force multiplier (PSI Static) so, maybe it is pretty easy to kill by itself, but not so weak when it is paired up with a bunch of enemies from Dungeon Fantasy 14... unless you decide that symbioses is impossible without the static affecting them as well. At least Cleanerfish is honestly the weakest enemy on the list.
