ROLEPLAYING IS STILL FOR FAGS (AND QUEERS AND NOW EVEN BONETOKERS)!!!


The Lava Jabba isn't it's real name, of course. I haven't thought of anything but "lava creature", but they'll have some leet-ass name
when I come up with one.

APPEARANCE
Lava Jabbas are basically giant slugs, formed from the pools of molten rock, and raised in the depths of a dormant volcano. For
reference, thing Jabba the Hutt (hence the nickname "Lava Jabba"). The LJ's are usually found living in groups of 10-20 in the
bottom of a volcano. They are never young, although at their "birth" they do not leave the magma for a year.

SOCIETY
The Lava Jabbas don't have a society to speak of, although they do have certain common laws in their volcanos. All newborn LJ's are
under the protection of all the adults, for instance. The Jabbas require no substanance, except that they cannot be without a source
of magma to survive in for long. Arcanus has been known to recruit these creatures as quick-strike soldiers, allowing them to return
to their homes as soon as they have completed their objectives. Water, unless boiling, is a danger to them as well. They do not speak
an actual language, instead changing their brightness in different patterns to express suprise, fear, anger, and such. They are unable
to speak even Common, although they can comprehend it.

ABILITIES
The Jabbas are powerful fighters, using completely fire-based attacks. They never fight against fire-based creatures, since it
nullifies their innate abilities. They pack a punch even without the fire, with the strength of five men, but are easily defeated by a
bucket of freezing water. Against human troops, they are among the most feared creatures around; even a near miss against a mounted
knight can ignite the poor warrior's chocobo. However, against the Borg, they are basically untroubled. Laser blasts do little more
than give them additional heat, and any attempt to assimilate them would fail, unless the eyes (the only solid structure on the Jabbas)
are targetted. Bladed weapons can hurt them, since they cannot divide into equal sections like most blob creatures. Blunt weapons can
do damage if the eyes are attacked; otherwise, they usually melt, or ignite.

STRATEGIES
The basic attack strategy for Jabbas is to have them attack whatever can burn. However, they are best used to flush out archers, or
protect a magic-using escort. Since arrows use a wooden shaft, they ignite upon hitting the Jabba, giving them additional warmth and
erasing whatever damage they had done to the creatures. Also, against a formation of pikes, a single Jabba throwing himself on a pike 
can ignite the entire formation, effectively rendering them helpless. They have been used to assassinate priests and such, but to less
extent, since priests carry holy water, and holy water is not good for Jabbas.

This concludes the Ecology of the Lava Jabba. Like I said, I'll think of a new name some time. And Tbog, you shouldn't be able to make
them too unbelievable this way.
