Cortex Bio-Titan

Cortex Bio-Titan
Structure
10
Points
A Bio-Titan developed by the Red Mesa researchers to be hyper-intelligent. It resembles a bloated slug, with hundreds of tiny eyes and a huge tentacle-like proboscis protruding from its drooling mouth.
One Step Ahead
The Cortex Bio-Titan is hyper-intelligent and always one step ahead of those around it. During any encounter with the Cortex Bio-Titan, each player must declare what action they intend to do in advance, whether they wish to attack, parley, flee, or do anything else. The Cortex Bio-Titan may then act first, assuming all of that knowledge.
Proboscis
RangeCloseMelee
If a Mech is hit with this attack, the proboscis will pierce through the cockpit on the first round and attach itself to the Pilot's skull. On the Cortex Bio-Titan's next turn it may make another attack against the Pilot. If this is successful, the Pilot is killed.
If a human or creature is hit with this attack, they die as their brain is sucked out of their skull.
Mutant Fanatics
Reaction
Fanatical devotees of the Cortex Bio-Titan who have twisted themselves into complete servitude to the creature. They will sacrifice themselves to keep its fragile form alive. When an attack hits the Cortex Bio-Titan, any **Chimerium Mutant**, **Chimerium Mutant Squad**, or **Chimerium Chosen** within Medium Range may take the hit instead as a reaction, suffering all effects of the attack.
Probing Telepathy
If the proboscis is connected to the skull of a human, it can communicate with them via telepathy. This requires them presenting their skull and tendril-like probes piercing through into their cranial membrane. This is unpleasant, but not deadly - unless the Cortex Bio-Titan chooses it to be.
Titanic Actions
The Cortex Bio-Titan can take three Titanic Actions, choosing from the options below. Only one Titanic Action may be chosen at a time and only at the end of another Pilot's or NPC's turn. The Cortex Bio-Titan regains spent Titanic Actions at the start of its turn.
-The Cortex Bio-Titan makes a Proboscis Attack. If it is already attached to a target, it kills them on a hit. (Costs 3 Titanic Actions)
-The Cortex Bio-Titan moves a Range Band. (Costs 2 Titanic Actions)
-The Cortex Bio-Titan wills one of its Mutant Followers to attack. Any Chimerium Mutant, Chimerium Mutant Squad, or Chimerium Beast within Long Range may make an attack against a target of the Cortex Bio-Titan's choice as a reaction. (Costs 1 Titanic Action)
