Weapons
Gams are fearsome creatures in battle. They can engage in Melee combat from a range of 4 hexes, and they can make 3 attacks without penalty. They attack once with a peck (BC: 65%, D10+10 damage) and twice with claws (BC: 55%). The claws do no damage but if a hit is achieved the victim is restrained and the gam will swallow the victim whole. The character is accounted as dead at this point.
Comments
Gams will attempt to dam up rivers to create lakes in which to rest. They will ignore humans unless directly attacked. Their work however often results in floods.
