auler muties are green, ape-like humanoids with oversized heads and toothy jaws, 4cm long talons on their fingers and toes, piggish noses, pointed ears and cruel black eyes. While they can walk in a hunched, bipedal posture, they prefer to scurry about on all fours, moving faster than a swift man. Being very agile, they are able to climb as well as a chimp, use their dexterous hands to open latches and grasp whatever they take a fancy to. They are also excellent jumpers and can leap 3m high, have 5 skill points in climbing, 4 points in stealth, and heal remarkably fast at 3 endurance points per hour Going by many rude names, the hated mauler mutie is sometimes referred to as a baby eater, but always considered a terrible pest. They seem fond of causing mischief especially when sneaking into a town. Once inside a humanoid lair or human community, they break in to homes and businesses, leave windows open for blood flyers, sting flies and the dreaded urcellia, and set to work conducting their destructive tasks. They seem to detest other living things, especially pets and small livestock and will maim, kill, or partially devour cats, dogs, chickens and other small animals, including sleeping children. They are also very destructive in a households pantry or kitchen, feasting on whatever they can find until bloating themselves, and either vomiting it up and resuming their dinner, or else ensuring the owners or other creatures cant take advantage of the supplies and both defecating and urinating on uneaten food stores.

One their way out of a residence, they will pilfer small, shiny objects such as bullets, grenades, communicators, keys, coins, jewels and gems, flashlights, power cells and other similar sized items. It is suspected that they collect these articles to store in their filthy dens to attract a mate, including gems, jewelry, eye glasses, silver, gold, plastic and small relics. They occasionally take live food animals back to their holes for later consumption, or to feed their numerous young. Mauler muties are usually born in litters of between 3 and 6 (2+d4) and reach hunting maturity at age two and breeding age at six. They live for about 14 years. While brave enough to risk entering the strongholds and compounds of much larger, smarter and powerful beings, they are cowardly and flee at the first opportunity when faced with armed humanoids or larger creatures, often before giving any sort of fight even when facing an unarmed teenage human. They are, however, dangerous when in the wilds. If encountered in their own territory and able to muster a half

dozen or more pack mates against a lone human, skullock or warmort, they will rush their prey aggressively, attempting to tear the victim to shreds before nosily feasting on the still living person. Because they store shiny objects in their own subterranean dens, they tend to acquire interesting collections of valuables. This often causes their demise. These stashes are sometimes sought after by specialized scavenger and skullock teams, who bait the maulers into the open, and then cautiously follow the green sub-humans back to their muddy holes or cracks in the rubble. Once a den is located, the smallest looter squeezes into the hole with a torch and a small weapon, and tries to dispatch the resident maulers without getting his face ripped off. If a den is discovered, there is a 65% chance that it is occupied, if so, by d3 adult mauler muties and d3+3 non-fighting young.
