Menarl

Menarls (aka Slim Devils) are 10-meter long mutant water snakes that have 5 to 16 1-meter long arms that end in hands with opposable thumbs. They usually don't carry equipment, and tend to be friendly to both Pure Strain Humans, and Humanoids however, the presence of any kind of bird has the risk of sending them into a feeding frenzy.
==Menarl Society==
Menarls tend to travel in small family groups of four, dwelling like their ancestors in dwellings that have been dug into river banks. They do so by moving rocks, to create a large cave with an underwater entrance. They are servile in nature, and don't mind entering a contract of servitude with Human, or Humanoid entities.
==Attributes==
Menarls are 10 meter long intelligent water snakes with an uncontrollable taste for avian kind (hence the name Slim Devils). Their long form, and multiple hands allow them to coil around, and squeeze prey. They are stronger then even Android kind (double the strength), and use this strength for moving boulders, or for crushing their prey. They have 5 to 16 1 meter long arms that end in hands with opposable thumbs.
== GM Notes ==
* Menarls, as intelligent beings (the Manuel has their intellect as 12 to 16 and they are capable of speech and complex social structures) can resist instinct. While the reputation is that such frenzy is a psycho switch just like a Human recognizing danger the Menarl can recognize when a bird isn't prey. But the instinct to feed is strong requiring a Mental Strength check to resist (with Menarls having a MS of 9 to 16). The GM should also take into account such factors as having recently fed or already having a standing relationship with the avian individual when the target is sentient. Both are factors that would aid in a Menarl resisting instinct with some close associates no longer requiring any check to be made. The reputation of 'uncontrollable feeding frenzy' comes from a truly devastating and widely popularized event that set in motion the misconception in universe. This is a homebrew fix established after allowing Menarls as player characters.
