# Chapter 9: Antagonists Dossier

Adversary Index (44)

### Ancient Robot

The outer shell of this complex adversary is the Armor (soldier) with high Defenses and Hit Points, flanked by two Armaments (soldier). These Armaments are more fragile but capable of unleashing attacks and spells.

Inside resides a Core (elite), which is completely invulnerable as long as the Armor remains on the scene. This Core creates a new Armament at the end of each round if fewer than two exist. Both the initial and subsequent Armaments are chosen at random from a six-option list, each possessing different Affinities and offensive capabilities.

If the Core is reduced to 0 Hit Points, the entire robot deactivates immediately.

### Magmasaur

This adversary consists of three primary components: a Body (elite), a Head (elite), and a powerful Tail (soldier).

- The Tail attacks with large swipes and can even inflict a status effect, but it cannot be regenerated if defeated.
- The Head can cause grievous injuries with its bite and flaming breath.
- The Body strikes with sharp claws or, if in Crisis, a powerful body slam.

Furthermore, at the end of each round, complex regeneration occurs: If the Head is defeated but not the Body, the Head returns to the scene with Hit Points equal to its Crisis value. The same revival mechanic applies to the Body if it is defeated while the Head remains active.

### Storm Spirit

In contrast to previous examples, this adversary comprises three parts of the same rank: the Essence of Lightning (soldier), which uses electric attacks and spells; the Essence of Air (soldier), which inflicts status effects like slow or weak; and the Essence of Water (soldier), which heals the other parts' Hit Points and Mind Points.

These three Essences maintain a delicate balance. However, if one Essence is defeated, the remaining Essences become significantly more powerful, doubling both their maximum and current Hit Points, not to mention increasing their number of turns starting from the next round!
