Red Cornet

Red Cornets · devolved Lepus

Skinless, eyeless rabbit-monsters that vomit-inducing sonic attacks — and are secretly drug addicts.

Story so far

Red Cornets infest Banshee Station on The Iron Tangle — a blind, devolved form of the near-universal Lepus that fled underground and traded sight for a nauseating echolocation attack. Tall, skinless, and humming, they render crawlers "Queasy," dropping Carl, Princess Donut, and Katia Grim retching to their knees while Mongo (immune) tears them apart. The party grinds until they build Queasy Resistance, and Carl deduces the truth: the cornets are strung out on race-specific sedative vials, cycling to and from the trains to feed their addiction.

Appearance

Tall, hunched, skinless red rabbit-monsters walking on two legs, with absurdly long ears, no eyes, human-like fingered hands, and a huge toothy mouth; their bodies hum constantly.

Role

Mid-level sonic-attack mob (level 21) and an early clue to the floor's drug ecology.

Relationships

Mongo — Immune to their nausea attack, so the party leads every fight with him.

Pooka — The boss dealers who supply the cornets' addictive vials.
