Special Abilities:
Aquatic Lifeform: Karkarodon can breathe underwater and are able to withstand the tremendous pressure of the deep, as it is their natural habitat. However, they require breathing apparatus to survive outside of water. If on land without the aid of their specially made survival suits or a similar device, Karkarodon begin to suffocate.
Elite Swimmer: Karkarodon are amongst the strongest swimmers in the galaxy. They gain a +1D bonus to all Swimming checks. If they fail a Swimming check, Karkarodon characters may immediately make a second attempt to succeed. As this aquatic species has evolved in near-constant motion undersea, any movement up to cruising speed while submerged is a free action for Karkarodon. Swimming at cruising speed counts as an action, but no roll is required of them unless the terrain is of Difficult difficulty or greater.
Jaws of Death: Powerful jaws and dual rows of sharp teeth grant Karkarodon a +2D bonus to damage when making a bite-attack.
Keen Senses: Karkarodon gain a +1D bonus to Perception and Search skill checks when using their sense of smell.
Sharknado Fury: Although they possess keen predatory instinct and sharp senses, Karkarodon can be goaded into unwise decisions. If taunted or if their plans begin to go awry, Karkarodon characters must make a Willpower check against a base difficulty of Moderate, modified by circumstance, eg: degree of the offense, nature of the setback, etc. If this check fails, the Karkarodon swims into a rage. Enraged Karkarodon gain a +2D damage bonus while brawling, but suffer a -2D penalty to all non-Strength attribute and skill checks. Karkarodon must make a Difficult Willpower check to calm down if the cause of their rage is still present. After the cause of their rage and/or all opponents have been eliminated, Karkarodon need only succeed on an Easy Willpower check (without penalty) to calm down.
