<p><b>Summary</b>: The most common species encountered.
|
||
|
|
They are capable of blurring speed and leaps of
|
||
|
|
near limitless height. The Skulk is a light, wiry
|
||
|
|
creature around the size of a very large dog.
|
||
|
|
Lacking any projectile attacks, it specializes
|
||
|
|
in melee. It moves on all fours – each leg
|
||
|
|
terminates in a long, sharp, bladed bone. It can
|
||
|
|
attack with these, and its powerful jaws. If it
|
||
|
|
cannot be stopped before reaching its target,
|
||
|
|
its target is in serious trouble. [<a href="alien_skulk_name.html">Name</a>]</p>

<p><i>"I don't know if I blinked, or
|
||
|
|
there's some vent we missed, but suddenly
|
||
|
|
a Skulk was sitting on the counter of the
|
||
|
|
executive lunch room – like we had
|
||
|
|
caught it scrounging for a late-night snack
|
||
|
|
in the kitchen, but the six of us looked
|
||
|
|
tastier. It dodged our lmg's up the wall,
|
||
|
|
bullets splintering black chrome and ugly
|
||
|
|
artwork, zipped to the ceiling then dropped
|
||
|
|
straight onto Zachary. They went down in
|
||
|
|
a tumble of claws teeth and plush chairs,
|
||
|
|
his gun still firing, moldy food packs and
|
||
|
|
Styrofoam cups scattering everywhere. We
|
||
|
|
kept firing, bullets sparking off the tables
|
||
|
|
and metal chair legs, knowing FriendlyFire
|
||
|
|
would stop us from hitting Zach. A large
|
||
|
|
bloody piece of nano-armor popped lazily
|
||
|
|
up into the air, and Zachary's gun went
|
||
|
|
silent. We took our fingers off the triggers,
|
||
|
|
popped new clips in, and started circling
|
||
|
|
for a good angle to hit the monster, when
|
||
|
|
there was this faint hissing sound and suddenly
|
||
|
|
an explosion, bits of bone and Skulk whizzing
|
||
|
|
by my ears, and a whole table flipped sideways
|
||
|
|
and racing towards me – a black shiny
|
||
|
|
circle getting bigger and bigger then 'wham!',
|
||
|
|
and I'm out. Good news was the same table
|
||
|
|
blocked most of the shrapnel. But the rest
|
||
|
|
of the squad … medical nanites wouldn't
|
||
|
|
have the faintest idea what to do with that
|
||
|
|
mess." </i></p>
