Darius Clawspawn, the Mutant – Steal this Enemy

4th Level Insectaur, of the Mutant Future

Darius Clawspawn is an outcast who has become a criminal in the Mutant Future. Born into a colony of scorpion Insectaurs, he felt his nest could easily overtake and enslave the puny humans and other mutants in his region. His colony, though, is a peaceful race, wanting nothing to do with his plans of conquest and domination. Darius has since left his colony and travelled the wastelands, attacking and destroying those he feels are weak and purposeless in the Mutant Future.

Darius has a misshapen, mutated torso of a human and the lower body of a scorpion. He has two large claws where his hands would be, giving him 3d6 of crushing damage when uses them to grasp an enemy. As an Insectaur, Darius has developed other mutations his species are known for. Taking after the pre-war species of scorpion, he has developed a hard outer shell which improves his AC to 3. He can attack with a large venomous stinger as well. When a PC is successfully hit, they will take 5d6 of poison damage unless a save vs. poison is made (half-damage). Darius’ INT score is low due to his atrophied cerebellum, so he can be easily out-thought. However, his level, DEX score , and echolocation mutation all give him a +4 to hit and +1 to damage, making him a formidable opponent in a fight.

Darius is a good local enemy to place into any Mutant Future campaign. He could easily be the leader of a bandit raider group that is terrorizing the local villagers. (Darius has recruited a local band of mants and cockroachoids to assist him in his goals). He may also be found ambushing trader caravans, or possibly trying to set himself up as a local warlord. Darius has grand plans of taking over the world, but his low INT and rash nature make that unlikely. Fortunately for him, his strength and natural weaponry make him quite dangerous when faced head-to-head.
