Description

---

Varmints are large, silicone-based lifeforms that are currently infesting the fields on T.'s Ranch in New Texas.

Appearance

---

This New Texan varmint is a big, blue creature near to the size of a burly Terran doberman, though its posture is more squat, and its frame is rippling with muscle. Its jaw is filled with razor-sharp teeth, slavering as it draws near to you, a hungry glint in its big green eyes. Several spikes coat the creature's flat head, including a pair that curl into horn-like protrusions around its head, almost ram-like.

History/Personality/Information of Note

---

Like giant rodents, varmints tend to be more of an overgrown nuisance than anything else. They seem to eat up most produce grown on New Texan fields as well as other material, including silicone and even credit chits.

Interactions

---

Though highly aggressive and usually attacking on sight, varmints can be subdued and 'wrangled' through non-fatal means. It is ill-advised to engage or provoke the beast when one is not strong or quick enough to escape its attacks.

The Captain Steele is able to wrangle them after accepting a job from Cameron. It is unknown what happens to them after they are turned in to Cameron.

If Steele wanders off of New Texas with one (somehow accidentally smuggling one through customs), the varmint will break loose and tear up the inside of your ship after you depart the planet. It's possible to kill the varmint yourself, simply let the creature be until it eventually wanders off the ship of its own accord, or attempt to tame it. Bimbo PCs can tame the varmint automatically, while all others will need to seek out a professional (TBA) to help.

Combat

---

Varmint combat actions:

• Leap Attack - Pounces and attempts to bite the opponent, causing penetrating kinetic damage. This attack also has a chance of tripping the opponent, and if this attack is consecutive, it may result in a stun.
• Maul - If tripped and on the ground, the varmint may savage the opponent for a large amount of penetrating kinetic damage.
• Ram - A powerful piercing attack with a chance to stun.

Resistances:

• 100% immunity to lust attacks

Loot/Items/Equipment

---

The varmint will not drop any credits but is worth 250 XP.

If it was defeated using the lasso, the varmint will also be tied up and carried in the inventory like an item, taking up an inventory slot. It is only possible to carry one varmint at a time.

As an item, a varmint's base price is 0 credits and can be sold to certain vendors, but Cameron will pay you a five credit chit for each. So far, it is unknown if varmints are valuable elsewhere.

Quests

---

Varmints are associated with Cameron's varmint wranglin' optional capture mini-quest.

Trivia

---

Big T. mentions in one of his talk scenes that the original New Texan colonists battled "super varmints," the dominant race on the pre-Terraforming planet, which were larger and more aggressive ancestors to the modern-day varmints. Apparently they were exceptionally dangerous and fairly intelligent.
