Gastrok

Description

These sluggish crytures may seem slow, both mentally and physically, but their slime coating and sheer mass allow them to build up great momentum for swift charges. Gastroks often entertain themselves by sliding downhill, preferably into other crytures, which always gives them a laugh. Their innate toughness makes it unsympathetic to the harm such pranks may cause, and humans especially can be killed by a roughhousing Gastrok. The curiosity of Snelmet carries over into their new forms and they have the same tendency to follow other crytures around, much to their annoyance.

Combat

Although their pranks may be harmful, Gastroks will defend their "playmates" from attackers. They prefer to charge into melee range with Rockslide powers, then start swinging with blast attacks to hit as many enemies as possible. If outnumbered, they will try to harden to gain some extra staying power.
