Its legs are atrophied. Its wings, too small and weak to support it properly. Its snout resembles that of an alligator.</em><br /> <br /> Skykine are huge creatures native to the air world of Edill. They resemble broad-bodied dragons with short, thick necks. They have four legs like a dragon, but they are short and apparently atrophied. Their wings, too, appear much too small and weak to support such a large creature. In fact, their wings are used only for steering. In their body cavity is a strange organ that allows them to levitate and fly through the skies of Edill. They cannot, of course, leave the atmospheric envelope. <br /> <br /> At the end of a short neck, the skykine's head is broad and flat, with a long snout like an alligator's. The creature's forehead is sharply sloping, indicating that it has no space for a large brain - an explanation for its low intelligence- Its eyes are large and spherical, protruding well out of its skull. This gives it 360 degree vision in the plane of its body, but only 180 degrees vertically. In other words, it has a blind spot below its own body. <br /> <br /> Skykine have rough, yet supple kin, very much like that of a shark. They range in color from off-white to blue-grey, perfect colors to let them blend in with the skies of their air world home. They live only for 20 years. <br /> <br /> <strong>COMBAT</strong><br /> Skykine can only bite foes in front of them, and tail smash foes behind them. They can severely damage vessels however. <br /> Although predators, feeding on other airborne lifeforms, skykine will never attack something that is larger than half their own size, or around 30 ft., unless they are attacked first. Even then, skykine prefer to flee, giving barking, bellowing cries of warning to others of their kind. If they are harried to the point they believe escape is impossible, they will turn and attack. <br /> They are the favored prey of Edill’s dragons. <br /> <br /> <strong>Ram (Ex):</strong> Skykine can ram creatures they can charge against, but do so only if they are huge or larger. This inflicts 10d12+10 points of bludgeoning damage. <br /> <br /> <strong>Air Cavity (Ex):</strong> Skykine’s unique body cavity that allows it to levitate and fly, reduces falling damage by 50%, unless it is somehow destroyed.<br /> <br /> <strong>Immunities:</strong> As dragons, they are immune to sleep & paralysis.<br /> <br /> <strong>Skills</strong><br /> Skykine have a +10 racial bonus to spot, and a +20 racial bonus to hide as long as they are in Edill, or in similar skies. <br /> <br /> </td></tr><tr><td><em>The Porton first appeared in SJR6 Greyspace 1992 TSR Inc.</em><br /> </td></tr></table></blockquote><p></p>
