Magical Beast · SM +1 Gray Render (Enraged Eggplant; answers SRD 3.5)

A hunched slate-grey biped in thick wrinkled hide, with six small amber eyes across its brow and four-fingered clawed hands. It is enormously strong and inclined to tear rather than kill cleanly. Oddly, it will attach itself to one creature it has decided to guard, and defend it to the end.

Description
Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0
  • GCS ancestry draft: gcs/gray-render.gct
  • Source template total: 180 points.
  • Library-rebuilt template total: 181 points.
  • CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
  • GCS cost adjudication for "Parthenogenesis": the source states 0 points and the native GCS library computes 1. Adopted the authorized source value of 0. The fan document lists Parthenogenesis as a zero-point feature throughout, while Power-Ups prices it as a 1-point perk. This is a consistent conversion convention, not an arithmetic slip, so the author's zero-point treatment is preserved and the one-point difference is recorded rather than corrected.
  • CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 23, PR 26, CER 49, threat tier standard.
  • Conversion baseline reported OR 24, PR 26, CER 50 (tier standard). The reviewed values come from the consumer CER implementation, which rounds damage once after the damage-type multiplier and credits ranged accuracy; the conversion baseline ceilinged the damage base first and ignored range.
  • Encounter metadata derived (gregarious): average number appearing 2, wandering weight 3. 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.
