Wildlife Encounter
| 1d6 | Bias | Encounter |
|---|---|---|
| 1-3 | Wildlife Trace | |
| Topshelf | A sloping half-castle shaped by sluggish hands. Arthropodic tracks lead down to The Anti-Crater, or up a nearby mountain. | |
| Aunts & Uncles | (1d6) Odd: The carcass of a lone Moognu Doe, ripped apart by the Moon-Roc... Even: ...and stripped of all flesh by Glimmiranha, leaving a pile of silvery bones. | |
| Veins of Capricorn | A 5' hole into a small empty burrow, 10' deep, 15' long. In the back, enwebbed & desiccated remains of (1d6) 1-2: an Obsidian Shark 3-4: 1d3 Moognu Pups 5-6: a Duster. | |
| Solar Desert | Churned regolith left by a moognu herd. Tracks can be easily followed; they return to the Watering Hole after 1d6 hexes. | |
| Mercurial Ponds | Tracks of (1d6) Odd: The Mother, Even: The Son of the South. Following leads to their lair; going the opposite direction leads to 2d6 Dragonman cultists, also following the tracks. | |
| 4 | Wildlife at Rest | |
| Flat | 1d6 Trapdoor Spiders rest halfway out of their ground holes, having a mundane conversation. | |
| Rocky | A Moognu Bull grazes on minerals in the regolith. Its pups play with boulders while their does break them for the delicious geodes within. | |
| Hills | 10d6 True Goldfish, Quartz Guppy, and Glimmiranha whorl the upper boughs of a tall coralite tree, nibbling at its slow-dripping sap. | |
| Canyons | A large blob of Clot is stuck up under a ledge. In 1d6 turns, when the Clot Scorpion emerges, it will be ravenous, but vulnerable until its wet outer layer sets up. +1HD, no armor. | |
| Mountain | A nest of 1d6 heron-sized Newborn Moon-Rocs. Famished, but don't quite know how to hunt. Their Nestwarden returns in 1d6 turns; sooner if the newborns get to squawking. | |
| Cordillera | 6d6 translucent tangerine Moon-Jellies float at the edge of gravity. | |
