Ecology: Boltworms are mainly found in the Bnazic Desert, although they are occasionally sighted in the other deserts of Earth's Dreamlands. They are closely related to the Fireworms of Prag, but unlike the fireworms, boltworms generate electricity. Boltworms tend to be solitary creatures, only gathering ever 10 years to engage in courtship rituals in which they fill the skies with released bolts of sheet lightning.

Personality/Motivation: Normal animal motivations.

Powers/Tactics: A boltworm can chose from two attack forms: biting or shocking. As the boltworm builds up a great deal of static electricity when traveling about the desert it can release this energy to either stun of kill its target.

Appearance: A boltworm is a snakelike creature, ranging in length from 6 to 40 feet long and roughly 1-3 feet through the middle. They are covered with segmented plates armor and are bright blue and orange in color.

Designer's Notes: The boltworm of Bnazic is a creature of the Cthulhu/Dreamlands Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft. This design was based upon the boltworm presented in the 5th Edition of The Complete Dreamlands. Boltworms can range in size from Small to Huge. Game Masters may wish to add abilities from the Giant Snake character sheet on page 116 of the HERO System Bestiary.
