We’ve just begun character burning for our BWG Dark Sun game (I’m playing a Dwarven Templar) and I’ve been reading up on things. As a bit of lonely fun I thought I’d try to burn up a Braxat:

Hook
Braxat are known as the terrors of the desert, solitary ambush hunters that prefer to eat humanoids.
Beliefs
1: The young must remain hidden in the caverns.
2: Nothing can stand before me; I will toy with my prey to demonstrate its weakness.
3: No one moves through my territory with impunity; all will be eaten.
Instincts
1: Always begin an attack with Mind Blast.
2: Only breathe acid as last resort, so the meat is preserved.
3: Always ambush prey at night.
IMS
Horns (Short): B6 / B9 / B12, Add 2, VA3, WS 1

Mind Blast—treat as a ranged psychic Intimidate, target using Will. Hesitate actions are limited to swoon and stand and drool.

Description
Braxat are reptilian mammals that resemble a cross between a rhinoceros and a turtle. Their backs are protected by articulated plates and their heads are crowned by 3 to 5 keratinous horns. Despite their bestial appearance, they are cunning hunters and have some capacity for human speech.
