Wave Lurker

From publisher blurb: What’s that in the damn water? That fin! It’s coming toward us!” Like so many beasts of the Epochian new era, the people of this age call the terrifying new creatures by some physical feature or behaviour the mutie beast displays. These are straightforward, no bullshit descriptions, something that the various humanoid strains can relate to other people with few words, which is often important when a watcher on a wall or barge deck must make their cry of alarm. With the shriek of “Wave Lurker!” everybody aboard a crude scrap-built cargo ship or junk walled village knows what is coming for them. Once the alarm is given, people can either grab the right weapon, dash to their battle stations, flee to a secure area, or pray to their wasteland god for admittance to the afterlife. Introducing the ever hungry, fast moving, reptilian wave lurker. These aquatic predators patrol the seas, lakes and swamps of the Mutant Epoch era, appear in various sizes, and like a sea lion, can drag themselves up onto the deck of a barge or shore to go after their prey. They can be encountered both in their typical form, or as mutant freaks to inflict even more mayhem and terror on hard pressed humanity.
