PuterPlane (an extremely tiny setting): monsters
ABC 80-WAYS2DIE
- Djinn-ish
- The tornado-like body is actually smoke coming from overheated circuits inside its monitorhead.
- It can only maintain this form for 30 mins before it shuts down and needs to cool for 10 mins
- When in cooling mode it looks like an ordinary puter, turned off
- The overheated smoke-body-mode is achieved by running this small program:
10 GOSUB 20
20 GOSUB 10
Keyed Cobra
- Snake-ish
- It attacks with its keyboardhead, trying to punch in command sequences to curse its subject
- Each successful hit will leave a mark on the targets forehead in the shape of a letter (key)
- When the last letter in the command sequence is typed into the targets forehead, the curse activates
- Some command sequence examples and their effects:
FORMAT C: (memory loss)
CHCP 864 (target changes language)
Tandy Tentacles
- Octupus/blob-ish
- Oracle
- Those brave enough may ask a question by typing it in reverse on its keyboard
- The reversed typing is due to the fact that the Tandy Tentacle reads from the other side of screen, much like a mirror
- Lives on cowhide
Commodoreberus
- Hound-ish
- Gatekeepers
- Each monitorhead runs its own program, that helps the creature overall
- One head runs the past events-program (e.g. remembering stuff)
- One head runs the planner (e.g. how to move its legs, shortest route to places, avoiding danger, etc.)
- One head runs the monitoring program (e.g. are we hungry? are we overheating? are we being attacked? are we hurting?)
- The three monitorheads shares the same processor (found in its body), so each head only gets 1/3 of the processing power
- Cutting off/terminating a head does not make two new ones grow out, but it will give the remaining ones more processing power (for example: from 1/3 to 1/2)
