Kontag Maulers |
By: Dustin M. Ramsey (DustinM@rifts-rpg.com)
These fearless and incredibly vicious pack hunters are originally from the Pogtal homeworld, where like their Dragonslayers masters, the Kontag Maulers evolved as natural predators of the dragons. Born with a high natural resistance to magic, preternatural strength, a cunning intellect, and lethal grace, the Kontag Mauler's most impressive asset is its anti-magic breath weapon.

cold attacks), and bio-regenerates 2D6 M.D.C. per hour. They have
supernatural strength and endurance, and have a high resistance to
magic. Additionally, they can sense magic and psychic energy
identical to the Psi-Stalker (see RIFTS, page 105).
The Kontag Mauler's most impressive weapon is its anti-magic breath weapon. Used on the Pogtal homeworld to render their dragon prey powerless before moving in for the kill, this miniature anti-magic cloud covers a 10ft by 10ft area for five minutes, and can be used once each melee. When multiple Maulers use their powerful breath attacks together, the clouds 'stick together' and cover a larger area.
