Recommendations For War Mounts/ Beasts of Burden...

... from other Palladium role-playing games.

I'm posting a couple of them here just to get the ball rolling. You are encouraged to add your own, but remember that obviously magical creatures are not allowed.

1. Baltosaur (PFRPG: Land of the Damned II, p.p. 73)-- A beast of burden and troop transport. If times are tough, one beast can be slaughtered to feed a small army.

2. Beast of Kathos (PFRPG: Land of the Damned II, p.p. 75)-- An armored cargo carrier and troop transport. Aggressive with fiery breath and gaze attacks. These last two powers can be mimicked by Splicers Host Armor weapons.

Already been there (remember the Gray Thunder link?

). This is a little different. All I'm interested in is getting people to post the name, book, and page number of existing Palladium creatures that they think would be suitable for the Splicers setting.

That's a pretty impressive list, but some of them don't really fit in, given that they are creatures of magic, something Carmen has specifically excluded from the game setting.

Panthera-Tereon (New West) and Panthera-Thrinax (Dinosaur Swamp)

Panthera-Thrinax can be trained and domesticated. It wouldn't be surprising if the Retro-Villages had a couple that were allowed by the Machine as pets and work animals.

The thing is, it's a question as to whether or not the creatures really fit the mood and feel of the setting. The Kryygorth Shellback, Giant Canyon Worms, and the Mammoth Brontodon all look like they could have been released by Gaia from the cryozoos. To me, pegasi, griffins, unicorns, and the like really don't belong.

ohhh those Kregore Hounds from Phase world wound be perfect.
Thick scaled armored dog/cat-like creatures running around as guard animals.
