Infernal Sciowyrm of the Boiling Sea
Largest, rarest and most dangerous of the Merwyrms are the Infernal Sciowyrms. Found only in the Boiling Sea off the West Coast of the New World, these creatures are as deadly on land as they are in the water.
Unlike all other Merwyrms, the Infernal Sciowyrm lays its eggs on land. Perhaps this is because the largely deserted broken coastlands of the Boiling Sea are less dangerous than the teeming minerally supercharged waters of the sea itself? The greatest of all the sea creatures of the Oceans are known to come to feast on the plankton blooms of the Boiling Sea, the huge fish shoals that gather to feed ...or indeed on each other!
Undersea magma flows are a feature of this dreaded area, and the Infernal Sciowyrm is specially adapted to these roiling seas. Its body processes poisonous minerals into a toxic lymph, which allow it to withstand the sulphurous fury of the Ocean floor, and which it can spit great distances when hunting on land. Beastmasters attempting to exploit the faunae wealth of the region are well advised to beware surprise attacks from this Apex predator.
M | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld || Pts
6 | 8 | 4 | 8 | 7 | 10 | 2 | 8 | 10 || 600
Special Rules: Terror, Scaly Skin (3+), Regenerate (5+), Sea Creature, Powerful Tail, Molten Spit
Molten Spit:
Once per shooting phase the Infernal Sciowyrm can make a shooting attack with a range of 24”.
The attack uses the small round template, and all models touched by the template receive D6 S8 hits with the Poison special rule.
Place the template within range and roll to hit using Ballistic Skill as normal. If the roll to hit misses, scatter the template using the scatter dice.
Just for Fun!
