The Mockra

The Mockra is easily in the top ten stupidest things anyone in Bastion has decided to build. It has many mock-heads attached to one mock-body and the result is always ridiculous.


But people just can't let it go. Each time the creature is destroyed, somebody thinks they can make a better one. 


Roll d20 to see what the hell they did for a body this time. This gives the thing it's STR, DEX, and Armour. The body is always just big enough to support the number of heads.

d20 Bodies
  1. Gnarled Tree. STR 10, DEX 0, Armour 3. 
  2. Lumbering Armoured Dino-body with long necks. STR 18, DEX 3, Armour 3.  
  3. Soft-Footed Dog. STR 15, DEX 12, Armour 1. 
  4. Powered Wagon. STR 16, DEX 3, Armour 3. 
  5. Snake Body STR 13, DEX 12, Armour 1. 
  6. Pile of Goo with heads just poking out. STR 12, DEX 12, Armour 1. 
  7. Big starfish STR 15, DEX 12, Armour 1. 
  8. Crustacean STR 12, DEX 10, Armour 2. 
  9. Majestic Eagle STR 12, DEX 18, Armour 1. 
  10. Scorpion. STR 15, DEX 16, Armour 2. 
  11. Snail. STR 13, DEX 6, Armour 2. 
  12. Classic Dragonlike Body. STR 15, DEX 12, Armour 2. 
  13. Pile of shaggy hair. STR 16, DEX 12, Armour 1. 
  14. Giant hunched primate. STR 14, DEX 14, Armour 1. 
  15. Turkey-like Fowl. STR 11, DEX 12, Armour 1. 
  16. Wyvern-like Flying Serpent. STR 14, DEX 15, Armour 1. 
  17. Big Cat. STR 15, DEX 18, Armour 1. 
  18. Red and Elephant-Like. STR 17, DEX 6, Armour 2. 
  19. Mechanical Spider. STR 15, DEX 12, Armour 3. 
  20. Bloated Toad. STR 13, DEX 6, Armour 2. 


Each turn it can decide to attack in one of three ways.
  1. Body Attack if it has one.
  2. Individual head attacks against different targets.
  3. Combined head attacks against one target for d12 damage. Requires at least 3 heads capable of attacking.  
It has 3d6 heads and 10hp plus one more for each additional head.

Roll d100 for each head. Each has a personality and attack of its own. They are all monstrous in size, regardless of the creature it's based upon.

The first head you roll is currently the lead-head. This head has control of the body and can silence the other heads. The heads can vote in a new lead-head at any time with the lead-head breaking ties. The Lead-Head gives the thing its WIL Score.



When an attack causes Critical Damage the Mockra is not defeated, but one head is destroyed. When half the heads are dead it withers up and dies.
A surviving Mockra with empty necks will dedicate its life to finding replacement heads.
Duplicates form a little clique away from the other heads.

  1. Great!
    I've seen the first pic last week and I'm writing a scenario with a creature (the Surgeon) that creates abominations.
    This can be really useful now!
