This swift-flying
creature is small, with swept-foward wings, no visible eyes or limbs,
and a circular mouth ringed with several rows of sharp teeth.
Description
Catalytic agents found within the body of the Scourge
cause it to explode like a living plasma bomb when it smashes against
the hull of a larger vessel. Large numbers of these creatures can
cripple a squad of fighters or even a Battlecruiser. Like the Zergling,
the simplistic genetic makeup of the Scourge allows two of them to
hatch from a single egg.
Combat
These blind terrors seek out enemy starships and dive into
them.
Explosion (Ex):
If a Scourge makes a successful melee touch attack upon an airborne enemy, it
explodes, dealing 10d20 damage to anything in 100 feet. The target and
the Scourge get no saves; anything else in the blast radius can make a
Reflex save (DC 11) for half damage. Killing a Scourge in another
method does not trigger this ability.
