Aberration · SM +3 Athach (Enraged Eggplant; answers SRD 3.5)
A hulking, badly assembled giant with mottled stone-grey hide, a lopsided tusked mouth, and a third arm growing from its chest that it uses as readily as the other two. It can be smelled well before it is seen, swings a knotted club the size of a young tree, and its bite carries a venom that leaves victims weakening for hours.

- Description
- Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/athach.gct
- Source template total: 272 points.
- Library-rebuilt template total: 252 points.
- CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
- GCS cost adjudication for "IQ-2": the source states -20 points and the native GCS library computes -40. Adopted the native library value of -40. Reduced IQ is -20 per level (B15), so IQ-2 is -40. The stated -20 prices one level.
- CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 30, PR 30, CER 60, threat tier major.
- Encounter metadata derived (solitary): average number appearing 1, wandering weight 2. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
- Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
- Description text is original Dungeons on Automatic prose written from this record's own converted statistics and from the project's art direction for the creature. It is not derived from the authorized fan-conversion source, which states no creature descriptions, and not from any SRD. It carries its own authorship and CC BY 4.0 terms in the description field. See review/policy/description-policy.md.
- Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b1-gcs-costs); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
- Every exact-identity cost discrepancy on this record is adjudicated against the published GURPS cost table in review/reports/gcs-adjudication.md; the adopted value and its basis are recorded in conversionNotes.
- Visual GCS verification of the .gct is not claimed by this decision; checks.gcsVisualPass is false.
