...lend me your brains! Don't worry; I'll give them back. I just want
to...borrow them.
One of the local Dollar Stores is selling four different kinds of "Star
Wars Batle Bags". Bags which, to quote the ad copy on the back of the
package, "...OOZE WITH EXCITEMENT!" Yes, that's right. Ooze. But,
buried
within that ooze, are: Creatures. Strange alien creatures. FULLY (and
NICELY) PAINTED creatures. In 25mm scale, no less.
Two of these bags contain sea creatures, and are pretty useless to me.
The
other two bags contain Swamp Creatures...which are quite useful. Most
of
these animals have pretty obvious uses -- one of the packs contains a
creature with a saddle that looks to be perfect for a 25mm rider -- and
I
already have plans to work them into different scenarios.
However, one animal continues to puzzle me:

The "Pikobis", shown here with a GZG UN trooper for scale. What I would
like is some suggestions on how to use this curious beastie. What are
its
habits? Is it dangerous? How can I work it into an SGII scenario? Be
creative, be absurd, be...whatever. I've got ten of these cute little
guys, and I don't want them to just sit around gathering dust.
I'm just about brain dead tonight, and I want to hear some ideas, that's
all. And I have found that the people on this list tend to have some
pretty good (and entertaining) ideas. So what do you xenobiologists out
there think?
