Zhànshòu Printable version

Though using the Chǒngwù (寵物) as a base, the Zhànshòu (戰獸) are War Beasts made strictly for combat or combat adjacent roles within the Dìguó Jūnshì (帝国军事). Varying greatly in form, they can be as simple as animals modified for reconnaissance and harassment, such as owls, bats and even swarms of wasps. On the other, more extreme end, the things weighing in would include sub-sapient, armor clad, gun wielding gorillas. Despite their base appearances, these latter abominations are best thought of as battle droids made out of unfortunate amounts of flesh and blood. Though not the quickest to be produced or lowest maintenance options available, they are important for being the most affordable, as they use far less rare earth metals and other valuable materials in their production.
