#8000 shredder~ the Shredder~ A Shredder advances towards you, claws clicking menacingly. ~ It is obviously a large creature, but an improbable number of sharp blades, claws and edges makes it near impossible to see its actual body. It is gleaming, a metallic black, although occasionally a claw or blade changes colour for a while, becoming a neon yellow. ~ 72 0 -500 E 9 11 -3 9d6+81 1d20+0 0 9000 8 8 0 E #8001 bug~ the bug~ A bug scuttles towards you, running in small circles around your feet. ~ It is a smallish creature, with too many legs to count, obviously very fast. It has a multicoloured carapace (looking much like an oil slick on a puddle), and bright red pinpoint eyes. ~ 8 0 0 E 1 20 5 1d6+9 1d3+0 2 150 8 8 0 E #8003 daemon~ the Daemon~ The Daemon looks at you expressionlessly, from the comfort of its chair (it feels that way, anyway... You can't see its eyes). Then its attention returns to the screens. ~ It appears to be a vaguely man-shaped (but larger than man-sized!) hole in the fabric of reality... looking closely, you can see stars, either inside it, or far beyond it... ~ 18442 8 400 E 10 10 0 10d6+90 1d6+8 0 9000 5 5 0 E T 8101 #8005 cursor~ the cursor~ The Cursor is here, tracing incomprehensible patterns in the air. ~ It is a ball of pulsating colours, extruding and retracting sharp points continually, sometimes changing shape altogether into some regular solid like a cube or an octahedron. ~ 72 0 0 E 3 16 5 3d6+27 2d4+0 0 450 8 8 0 E #8006 juggernaut~ the Juggernaut~ A Juggernaut a working its way methodically through this area. ~ It is _very_ large, some 10 yds in length, walking on several hundred tiny legs. It is metallic-looking, with large spots of corrosion marring its angular skin. On its sides are large signs, written in an incomprehensible language. On its top, a small eye cluster swivels back and forth continually. A number of tentacles sweeps the ground around it. ~ 92 0 400 E 8 12 0 14d6+100 2d5+1 100 10000 8 8 0 E #8008 butterfly fly~ the butterfly~ A beautiful, butterfly-like thing is fluttering around here. ~ It is, on closer inspection, not really an animal, but a variable number of brightly-coloured, translucent planes of breathtaking beauty and delicacy. The planes pulse, waver, sometimes disappear, but are always replaced by another. None of the planes move, but through continuous replacement, the butterfly does, in random sweeps. ~ 88 134217728 1000 E 1 20 19 1d6+9 1d3+0 0 1 11 11 0 E #8010 cowboy~ the cowboy~ A hard-eyed cowboy is here, going about his business. ~ He is dressed in jeans, boots, a hat that shades his face so that it is hard to see, where he's looking. He is walking around purposefully, as if searching for something, occasionally getting down to one knee, making strange passes in the air, then picking up pieces of the ground that are apparently not so solid now. He is carrying a leather satchel over the shoulder, into which he sometimes place some of the pieces. At his belt hangs a strange, bluish whip. ~ 4196360 0 400 E 5 10 6 5d6+45 2d4+0 40 2000 8 8 1 E $
