Action

1 * feeler (rusting)

 

Special

Rusting

Metal that touches a rust monster (e.g. weapons that hit it, or armour struck by a feeler) crumbles instantly to rust. Magic items have a 10% chance per "plus", to be unaffected on each successful hit. Each time a magic item is affected, it loses one "plus".

 

Special

Smell metal

Attracted by the scent.

 

 

Ability

Antenna Disarm

The rust monster attempts to Disarm a metal item a creature is holding using its antenna (with the same modifier as an antenna Strike). On a success, the item is subject to the rust monster's rust ability (see below) in addition to the effects of the Disarm, and if the check to Disarm is a critical success, the rust monster drops the item on the ground in its own space.

 

Ability

Metal Scent

A rust monster can smell metal as a precise sense.

 

Ability

Rust

A rust monster's antenna causes metal to rapidly rust and corrode. If it succeeds at an antenna Strike or Disarm attempt with its antenna, the rust monster deals 2d6 damage (doubled on a critical hit) to a metal item the target is wearing or holding, ignoring its Hardness. If the rust monster hits an unattended metal item, the item takes this damage automatically. If a creature uses the Shield Block reaction with a metal shield against an antenna attack, the shield is automatically broken, but no other item is rusted on that attack.
