XXVc Notebook- Martian Combat Gennie

Genotype

MCG’s are the standard issue grunts of the Martian military. Intended to be cheaply produced, they combine the standard Martian with elements of chimpanzees and desert-dwelling Earth reptiles. They can survive on very small amounts of water and can withstand prolonged exposure to cold (but not frigid or arctic)

Physical Features

    Physical Size: 6 feet

    External Covering: Fine scales that mimic the color of Martian desert terrain

    Eyes: Yes

    Ears: not really

    Mouth: wide and fangy

    Nose: two nearly invisible slits in the face

Cultural: None. They just hang around or train until needed.

Advantages/Disadvantages

Claws, camouflage. Heat makes them angry. MCGs will blindly follow orders from anyone they perceive as a Martian military officer.

Combat

They’re trained to attack with standard Martian military weapons, but will use fangs and claws if pressed.

Habitat/Terrain

Typical Mars military bases. In the desert, they will instinctively seek out caves or similar shelter.

Ecology

MCGs are pretty stupid and were created to be cheaply replaced. They don’t have any desire to do much of anything more than fight so they aren’t inclined to want to go AWOL.
