Beaver and Butthead
These are two young broos of an age which corresponds to 14 years in humans. They are an inseparable pair, despite not getting along with each other very well. They are obsessed with sex, like all broos, but not very experienced or daring (unlike most broos). Mention anything vaguely sexual around them, and they start laughing a peculiar "Heh-heh, heh-heh, heh-heh- heh-heh-heh," and saying things like "He said to GET OFF his horse, get it?"
Their second favorite thing, after talking about sex, is watching other broos perform what passes for broo entertainment. Although they do not participate, lacking any skill in those areas, they freely comment upon the performances by saying, "This sucks," or "Cool."
They are also pyromaniacs.
Their low language skills are due to their feral origin.
Beaver
Malia initiate
The offspring of a broo-beaver mating, Beaver has a generally
beaveroid body, except for the hands, horns, and (barely) bipedal
posture. He attacks by biting with his pronounced incisors and
(3 SR later) slapping with his tail. However, he never fights
unless forced into it, either by being cornered or by being
coerced by a stronger broo. He carries a spear because stronger
broos make him, but he will drop it and run if he can.

Beaver delivers the tail slap either by turning or by swinging it up between his legs. Either way, if it hits, roll 1D10 for hit location.
Skills: Swim 90%, Speak Chaosspeech 20, Firemaking 75%.
Armor: 1 pt. fur on body, 3 point head.
Spirit Magic (40%): Ignite.
Disease: Carries Blotches and White Eye. If his bite does damage, he exposes his victim to both diseases.
Possessions: fire-making equipment, including flint with focus for Ignite.
Butthead
Malia initiate
Butthead has a unique chaotic feature, "Reversed Alimentary
Canal, with Complications." The gods of chaos reversed the
placement of his mouth parts and his hind end. He eats by
sitting on his food, and his anus is where his mouth should be.
Where broos normally have cheeks, he has buttocks, and vice
versa. He attacks by spewing forth excrement in front of him or
by casting spells. As a last resort, he can head butt, hoping to
impale someone on his forward-pointing horns. Like Beaver, he is
likely to run away from a fight. Like Beaver, he carries a spear
for show.

Weapon SR A% Damage P% Pts Notes Spray 3 * Special See below Head Butt 8 37 1D6 Can impale Spear 7 22 1D8 21 10
*The spray of filth goes out 6 meters, and Butthead turns as he sprays, so as to get everyone in a 90 degree arc. The filth hits everyone in range in that arc. If Butthead successfully casts his Speedart, the spray does 3 points of damage to a random location. The foul stench subtracts 5% from all of a victim's skills until he or she bathes. The filth also exposes the person to The Blotches and Sniffles. Everyone hit should make a luck roll (POW x5) where failure indicates Something Worse. Roll a missile hit location to find out what the Something is. Head: temporarily blinded (1D6 melee rounds); arms: lose grip of anything held with that arm; chest or abdomen: anything carried on the body is befouled; legs: slip and fall.
Skills: Speak Chaosspeech 20, Firemaking 75%.
Armor: 3 point head, 1 point soft leather on body.
Spirit Magic (65%): Disruption, Heal 1, Ignite, Speedart.
Disease: Carries Blotches and Sniffles.
Possessions: firemaking equipment (flint has focus for ignite).
