Loper attacking Nazi researcher
A Loper attacks a Nazi scientist.

Ecology: Lopers are bizarre and horrific combinations of biological and mechanical engineering. Designed, grown, and assembled in a secret weapons facility located deep in Axis Territory (rumored to be somewhere in Norway), they are intended to be the vanguard of a Nazi push to win the war once and for all.

Personality/Motivation: Nearly mindless, lopers have only the most basic of needs and are incredibly hostile to anyone or anything that isn't a loper. This almost mindless aggression is the primary reason they haven't be used in combat yet.

Powers/Tactics: Lopers tend to literally hurl themselves at foes, and can leap great distances, both horizontally and vertically. Once in contact with an enemy, they will lash out with their claws and then fall back, seeming to retreat, at least until they activate their Lightning Generator. This weapon, mounted at the bottom of the Loper's torso, produces arcing bolts of electricity, delivering a lethal shock to anything within range. The weapon isn't the most accurate of devices however, and individual bolts may arc to conductive surfaces instead of targets, even if they are in range.

Appearance: A loper appears as a massively muscled human torso, arms, and head. It has no legs, instead having a Lightning Generator mounted at about the level of the waist. Lopers travel by running on their hands, and can hurl themselves great distances if needed.

Designers Notes: Lopers are one of the experimental Nazi weapons seen the game Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I based the stats of off several factors: the sheer size of a loper (even missing legs they are nearly 5' tall!); their speed (they are about as fast as your character and can leap farther than you can run); and their resistance to damage (I fired 45 rounds from a Thompson SMG into one at point blank range before it died). In fact, you might want to make them Automatons, to simulate how hard it is to kill them with small arms.
