Traits: armored, coordinated, electrostatic, ravenous.

DEX d8 | INS d8 | MIG d8 | WLP d8 | HP 100 • MP 50 | Init. 10

DEF +2 | M. DEF +1 | p A RS B IM d E VU f ii VU l T RS

## BASIC ATTACKS

- Lightning Leg (DEX + MIG) +3 • (HR + 5) bolt damage; if the Thorax is dangling, damage dealt by this attack ignores Resistances. This attack has multi (2), but it can only target two enemies provided they are both suffering from slow.

## OTHER ACTIONS

- Electrostatic Charge The Thorax can use an action and spend 10 Mind Points to rub its back legs along the Abdomen, creating an electrostatic cloud. If it does, the Abdomen (see page 178) becomes electrified.
- Predator Ascent The Thorax can use an action and spend 10 Mind Points to climb up the webs and become dangling until it suffers fire damage, ice damage, or damage of a type it is Vulnerable to; the Thorax also stops dangling after the Abdomen (see page 178) uses Trampling Slam. As long as the Thorax is dangling, no part of the T onitranea Rex (Abdomen, Head and Thorax) can be targeted with melee attacks unless the attacker is flying or able to target flying creatures.

## SPECIAL RULES

- Limb The Thorax is immune to dazed, enraged and shaken.
- Survival Instinct At the end of each round, if the T onitranea Rex is within its lair and the Abdomen and/or the Head are at 0 Hit Points, the Thorax must spend 1 Ultima Point to gather its strength and bring both parts back into the scene, each with a number of Hit Points equal to their Crisis value, but suffering from no status effects and at full Mind Points.

HANDLING THE PARTS OF THE TONITRANEA REX
Although the various parts of this Villain have individual profiles, in narrative terms they are actually a single entity: for this reason, when one is reduced to 0 Hit Points and/or leaves the conflict, they should be described as grievously wounded or exhausted, not dead. At the same time, their senses are based on the T onitranea Rex as a whole (for example, defeating the Head does not impair the “sight” of the other parts, which can target their enemies normally).
