Hoblix

Beast Name: Hoblix

Approximate Size (l x w x h): 1'x2.5'x4.5'

Known Locations: Kageroth Mountains, Kageroth Prison

Strengths & Weaknesses (if applicable): Hoblix are much stronger than their Goblix kin, but they are much more illogical as well. They move extraordinarily quickly without much forethought. They have been known to use their hands while running, using all four extremities to boost their speed.

Weapons & Defenses (if applicable): They do not retain much if any of their weapons knowledge when they mutate. Hoblix usually fight with a club, a rock, or their bare fists. They may pick up a weapon if one is available, however, if its operation takes much skill they will not be able to use it. (If given a gun, they would likely use it as a bludgeon) They are extremely aggressive, some would say they are in a perpetual "blood rage". What they see, they kill; unless they are killed first. They usually retain the clothing they wore during their transformation, so defenses depend on the Hoblix in question. (Range from naked to full plated armor)

Observations (in biology or behavior):

Common Knowledge:

Hoblix are a derivative of the Goblix species, but their similarities end with their common height. Hoblix were, at one point, Goblix. They are a race transformed by over-exposure to Copper (Cupric specifically. Cuprous does not have the same effects -- for all of the other Chem nerds out there) which is noxious to Goblix. Most unaffected Goblix considered the possibility of turning into a Hoblix the price they pay for their advanced knowledge and use of technology. It is unknown exactly how much exposure is too much, but once a Hoblix is formed, there is no reversal.

Hoblix do not mate, thus this is not a naturally recurring species. It is unknown how long a Goblix lives after turning into a Hoblix, but most educated guesses say about three months.

It is rumored that the Goblix that run Kageroth prison will occasionally turn one of their own into a Hoblix intentionally for sport. IE. Fighting with inmates.
