Prehensile Tail in Gamma World | World Anvil

Prehensile Tail

The mutant has a tail that can grasp and hold objects.   Type: Major positive.   Effect: A prehensile tail grants a +4 mutation bonus on Acrobatics and Climb checks. It can also grasp and manipulate a simple object up to one size category smaller than the mutant's size category. A prehensile tail cannot be used to operate a piece of equipment that requires opposable digits or fine motor control (such as a cell phone).   The mutant can hang from their prehensile tail indefinitely by wrapping it around a larger object, thereby freeing up their other limbs. The prehensile tail isn't dexterous or strong enough to fire ranged weapons or make mêlée attacks. However, it can be combined with the Stinger mutation. In this case, the mutant's stinger is retractable.   Biotech: Graft.
