Whip-Slasher

Whip-Slasher



Semi-Sentient species of Pertha



One of the most dangerous life forms known. These 250 kilo beasts have a similar physiology than Pertharians and evolved in the same environment.

They possess similar intelligence as a Terran Dolphin or cat and attack in groups of 5-10 individuals, coordinating their attacks.

They are very fast, have the same crystalline body armor than Pertharians, only much thicker and have to 5-6 meter long highly flexible tentacle arms with very sharp and hard barbs at the end.

They are able to use these arms either in a whip like attack or ensnare their prey and cause severe injuries.

The attack is relentless and the animal must be killed to end the aggression.

Two to three Whip Lashers can be lethal to a full grown Pertharian (unprotected).

While they are not able to consume humans, they attack anything that enters their territory.

Whip Lashers are highly prized as Death Fight Arena monsters.

Possession of a Whip Slasher as pet is permitted only with a Class IV weapon license.

They can be trained as guard animals and used in this capacity all over the Union.[1]
