Notes: The Vampire Watermelon is a huge beast out of the nightmares of the African people. It doesn't have to drink the blood of humans. Basically the blood of all living creatures will do, and as a matter of fact the Vampire Watermelon prefers to hunt large mammals like cows or horses to stalking humans. What looks like the melon fruit forms the head of the monster. A tangled assortment of root like material forms his body. Small red pinpoint lights make up it's eyes. When closed the mouth is an almost seamless line at the center of the head. Sharp teeth enable it to rip apart it's pray to suck blood. Vine like tentacles make long reaching arms.

Now really silly:
At some point during the 50ties the RC tried to cultivate the Vampire Watermelon looking to make it into a cheap and easily grown soldier. But they failed horribly:
Seedless Vampire Watermelon
HC: Failed Vampire Watermelon Experiment
T: Seedless
Skills:
Fair: Fists, Might
other Physicals default to Average
Powers:
Diminutive Size [-1] (normal melon site)
Pack Instinct [-1]
Blood Drinker [-1]
Feeding Dependency [+1]:
Inhuman Recovery [-2] (Catch: Like Vampire Watermelon [+3?] but gets not added fully)
Spend: -4
P 0 0
H 0 0 (?)
Notes: As they are seedless they can't reproduce. Tiny as they are, they are pretty embarrassing and the RC does everything to distance them selfs from their failed experiment. Sometimes the seedless type follows in the wake of a normal Vampire Watermelon in little packs trying to scavenge what it leaves of it's pray.
The Vampire Watermelon could be transfigured into some kind of summer fey too. Just kick the feeding dependency and modify the catch. Bam! Clorofind-/Scarecrowish
EDIT: Corrected a mistake on the Seedles Vapire Watermelons Catch.

Actually, in terms of cost break it gets not applied at all. Why? Because Feeding Dependency requires 2 points of Powers to apply itself to...and also can't reduce the cost below -1.

Wyrdrune:
reminds me of the killer tomatoe movies from the 80s...
theme song anyone?
Attack of the killer tomatoes!
Attack of the killer tomatoes!
They'll beat you, bash you,
Squish you, mash you
Chew you up for brunch
And finish you off for dinner or lunch!
They're marching down the halls
They're crawling up the walls
They're gooey, gushy, squishy, mushy
Rotten to the core
They're standing outside your door!
Remember Herman Farbage
While taking out his garbage
He turned around and he did see
Tomatoes hiding in his tree
Now he's just a memory!
I know I'm going to miss her
A tomato ate my sister
Sacramento fell today
They're marching into San Jose
Tomatoes are on their way!
The mayor is on vacation
The governor's fled the nation
The police have gone on strike today
The National Guard has run away
Tomatoes will have their day!
Attack of the killer tomatoes!
Attack of the killer tomatoes!
They'll beat you, bash you,
Squish you, mash you
Chew you up for brunch
And finish you off for dinner or lunch
Lunch, lunch
Dinner or lunch, lunch, lunch
Dinner or luuuuuunch
