The Creature from 'The Creature from the Black Lagoon' (1954)

There are many strange legends in the Amazon. Even I, Lucas, have heard the legend of a man-fish.

Powers:
Amphibious Nature: The Gill-Man is an amphibious creature, capable of living on both land and water, being adapted for life as necessary. It is believed the Gill-Man's physiology is standard for its species, but no evidence has been supported to provide such one way or another. As such, the Gill-Man's physiology allows him the following:

  • Armor skin: Typ (6) protection against physical attacks (all though not bulletproof), as well as pr (4) protection against energy attacks
  • Body Adaptation: Pr (4): The Gill-Man's body adapts to its environment, from growing new lungs to support a life out of the water to shedding damaged scales and other parts of itself.
  • Hyper-Swimming: Ex (20)
  • Water Freedom
  • Water Breathing
  • Natural Weaponry: Claws: Ex (20)
  • Resist: Temperatures: Gd (10) protection against temperature damage, such as heat and cold

Contacts:
Theoretically None, although different individuals have attempted to help the creature in later movies.

Limitations:
  • Unusual Looks: -2cs when dealing with individuals due to its visage for all social FEATs.
  • Water Dependency: The Gill-Man must hydrate himself or begin to suffer accordingly if not given opportunity to adapt.
