The kiramon has a mobile head with huge, bulging, eyes that sparkle in a faceted clustering around the lidless perimiter. Protruding from the massive head is a vicious-looking snout with insectile mandibles, while the back of the cranium is a distended, two-lobed case. Remarkably powerful rear legs jut backward from an extremly hard, resilient, exoskeleton-like body, that seems to be in constant motion. Though the middle legs have evolved away long ago, the front legs end in strong opposing claws and knobby-jointed fingers. Stunted wings flap uselessly from its long cylindrical body.[1]

  • Contrary to popular belief, Perception does NOT play a role in searching or looting them.

An example of a kiramon defender's hamstring:

A kiramon defender darts behind you quickly and tries to hamstring you with its pincers!
[Roll result: 52 (open d100: 44)]
The kiramon defender's swing goes wide!

An example of a kiramon defender's lunge attack:

A kiramon defender lunges at you with its open mandibles!
It clamps on to your Rather Large Weapon, wrangling and thrashing with it in its powerful jaws!
 ... 20 points of damage!
 Finger and wrist grappled, twists hand!
 You are knocked to the ground!
 You are stunned for 2 rounds!
