SKAVARA (+1)
While originally from Amedo, traders brought these snarl ing, badger-like semi-intelligences first to
Algol, and later to Coriolis, where they have multiplied in the shadows of the Cellar.
The skavara keep out of sight and live off what they can find, which usually means garbage and
leftovers if they live close to a human settlement. Skavara usually live in leaderless packs or alone.
Sometimes they gather around a strong leader for a short time and then disband, and possibly
reform the group. The skavara are guarded and vigilant creatures, but also curious and fast learners.
Like the glitter thrush, they collect all sorts of colorful and shiny knick-knacks. City dwelling skavara
often adorn their fur or simple clothing with copper wires, fiber-optic cables or pieces of shiny
plastic. They only wear clothes – capes or gallabeyas mostly – in colder climates such as on Algol or
in the Cellar on Coriolis, otherwise preferring just their own fur for warmth. Humans have
unsuccessfully tried to train skavara.
Their semi-intelligence makes them able to learn human languages, but their throats and mouths are
bad at mimicking the sounds. They can usually bark or yap only a few hundred words, but can
communicate much more clearly through sounds or body language.
STRENGTH 2, AGILITY 3, WITS 3, EMPATHY 2, HIT POINTS: 5, MIND POINTS: 5, MOVEMENT: 14
SKILLS: Melee Combat 1, Manipulation 1, Infiltration 3, Observation 3
ARMOR: -
WEAPONS: Claws (Weapon Damage 1, CRIT 3)
 STENCH: The skavara have scent glands on their necks, used for marking territories. A scared or
cornered skavara can activate these glands in an emergency, letting off a pungent odor that
affects mucous membranes and eyes. Enemies within Close Range get a -2 modifier to all actions
until they get away from the stench. They also have to test FORCE, suffering 2 points of stress if
they fail.
 SNIFF: Skavara can use their sense of smell to test MANIPULATION and determine if someone is
hostile or lying. They also get a +2 to OBSERVATION if there are scent trails to follow.
