PARANOIA
The Grue
I was reading through your site once more, and came across, in the players section, a story about silly Troubleshooters who kept getting eaten by Grues. This brought back a series of Zork flashbacks, and now I proudly present to you:

- Grues cannot stand
light of any sort, even artificial light. They will not venture within
20 metres of any light source, and when in a lighted area, they attack
with a penalty of -5 on all rolls. For some bizarre reason, Grues
love the smell and taste of Cruncheetym Algae Chips, and can actually be
lured by a sufficient quantity of this product. No one knows why
this is so, though rumour has it that consuming too many algae chips leads
to unfortunate...mutations, as well as an insatiable appetite and a loathing
of light.
Large populations of Grues are present in the bowels of DND Sector, and in any region of Alpha Complex known to contain dark corridors, unsuspecting Citizens, and the like. A particularly large concentration of them is known to exist in ZRK Sector, though the reason for this is unknown.
