Terrain

Terrain has multiple uses in GURPS: Hiking (for overland travel), Survival (for surviving within a given biome), and City Stats (which uses the Survival biomes). 
As one might expect, some terrain can also vastly affect movement in combat (such as fighting in ice, snow, mud, or sand dunes). Some creatures (such as camels on sand, or caribou on ice) have Terrain Adaptation, letting them move swiftly and effectively in that terrain.

==Comments==
* Strangely there is nothing regarding really exotic cities like Cloud City, Columbia, or Rapture.
** Presumably, aerial cities such as Cloud City and Columbia count as "aerial", and don't have a terrain "biome" as there isn't one.
** Rapture, being an underwater city, would presumably use an aquatic terrain type (taken from the aquatic Survival subtypes). Most likely "Saltwater Sea".
*** All kinds of scrounging inside these cities would use Urban Survival.
