I seem to have overwritten the stats of Zombie Chimera #3 with those of the Shade. I'm afraid that I don't remember exactly what the stats of Zombie Chimera #3 were originally. Can anyone help me with this?

It was the Assassin winged-snake-baby. It might have been -8 to -12 Refresh. It had Wings, Cloak of Darkness, and a lot of other Powers. I forget the rest.

[Sanctaphrax]

Well, I strongly suspect that this isn't exactly the same as it used to be. I thought that it had Spider Walk, but devonapple seems convinced that it had Wings. And the powers and stunts that I have here add up to a fair bit over -12 refresh. Oh well, it's not that important.

Definitely did, but it was more of "Wings (?)".  Either way, looks good.

[Sanctaphrax]

I am sorry to say that I have no idea what you mean, Drashna. Could you please explain?

[Drashna]

IIRC, when you wrote up the #3 shade, it sounded like you weren't sure if it should have wings or not, and had a question mark with it. but #3 definitely had wings.
Though I could be remembering another monster.  You *do* have so many good monsters listed!

[Sanctaphrax]

Ah, okay. I'll ditch the Spider Walk option then.

And thanks.

[Drashna]

No. Thank you for all the great creatures you've stated.

[Sanctaphrax]

In that case, you're welcome. Anyway, I've noticed that the vast majority of the Pure Mortals on this thread are low-powered. In order to correct this, I'm making three mortals of Chest Deep level or higher: a master poet, a mixed martial arts champion, and a member of the secret corporate conspiracy that runs the world. First, the poet:
