Bloodbug (Fallout: The Roleplaying Game)

Bloodbug are creatures in Fallout: The Roleplaying Game.
==Background==
A form of mutated mosquito, bloodbugs can be encountered in swarms wherever there is stagnant water and carrion. Fully grown, their dark reddish-brown bodies reach nearly two feet in length and their razor-sharp proboscis is capable of puncturing though some types of armor. Bloodbugs typically spit irradiated blood to blind their victims before puncturing the disorientated creature with their proboscis to feed on their blood. Brahmin and other domestic creatures often fall prey to these bugs, as well as unwary travelers who underestimate the deadly nature of a swarm.Fallout: The Roleplaying Game core rulebook, pg. 339
==Attacks==
* Proboscis: Body + Melee (TN 7), 5 Physical damage
==Special abilities==
* Flying: Bloodbugs can move freely through the air. They ignore most ground-level obstacles and difficult terrain effects, and they can move through "empty" zones above the battlefield if desired. It must spend at least one minor action each turn moving, and if it is knocked prone, it falls to the ground suffering 3d6 Stun physical damage, +2d6 for each zone above ground level it was before it fell.
* Little: Bloodbugs are smaller than most characters. The creature's normal HP decreases to Body + ½ level (rounded up), but its Defense is increased by 1. Further, it is slain by any hit which inflicts an Injury.
* Immune to Radiation: the brahmin reduces all Radiation damage suffered to 0 and cannot suffer any damage or effects from radiation.
==Inventory==
Scavengers can butcher a dead bloodbug with a successful Endurance + Survival test with a difficulty of 0. This yields 1 portion of bloodbug meat and 1 blood sac.
