Mecha-Raccoon
EpicThingamajigs · Epic Thingamajig · Really Big
Epic Foe — beyond the normal Boss scale, fought across several stat blocks (see below).
Mecha-raccoon is a giant robot designed by hyper-intelligent raccoons. It stands as high as a house, with invincible armor. In order to defeat it, the kitties need to get inside and destroy its power-core.
Reactions
- •Flamethrower: Causes two Owies to each of two enemies.
- •Reckless Flamethrower: Creates a Wildfire Disaster (Core Rulebook p. 63).
- •Power Drain: The mecha-raccoon removes one Owie. The kitty cannot use their Magical Power until somebody deals an Owie to the mecha-raccoon's power-core.
Special
- •Once a kitty is inside the mecha-raccoon, they can no longer be affected by the mecha-raccoon's Reactions.
- •The Crew: Hyper-intelligent raccoons (Core Rulebook p. 58) might also be scurrying around inside the mecha-raccoon. A test version of the mecha-raccoon might even have a hyper-intelligent raccoon piloting it, in which case taking out the pilot will also defeat the mecha-raccoon.
Variants

Adventure ingredients
- What Have I Unleashed: An eccentric engineer tries to create a robot to help humanity construct buildings and roast marshmallows. Alas, they went a little overboard and didn't realize their mistake until it's too late.
Chunks
An Epic Foe is brought down a piece at a time. Each chunk is its own target with its own stat block; Destruction says what beating it does to the whole creature.
Flamethrower
The mecha-raccoon has a powerful flamethrower in its mouth.
Reactions
- •Flamethrower: Causes two Owies to each of two enemies.
Destruction: The mecha-raccoon can no longer use its Flamethrower or Reckless Flamethrower reactions. In addition, the kitties can get inside the mecha-raccoon by going through its mouth.
Access Hatch
The raccoons use this access hatch to maintain the mecha-raccoon. They use a complicated electronic lock to keep it shut.
Reactions
- •Mecha-Raccoon: Mecha-raccoon uses a Reaction.
Special
- Electronic Lock: Kitties can open the electronic lock by succeeding on three Cunning tests against the hatch's Cunning Difficulty of 5. If they get a super bonus, they can count it as two successes. If one kitty is already inside (such as by using Phasing or Teleport), they can open the hatch with just one successful Cunning check.
Destruction: The kitties can get inside the mecha-raccoon through the broken or unlocked hatch.
Mecha-Antibodies
These centipede-like robots patrol the inside of the mecha-raccoon and attack invaders. On average, there is one antibody per kitty.
Reactions
- •Electric Bite: One kitty suffers two Owies.
Destruction: Destroying the mecha-antibodies has no additional effect, except stopping them from attacking the kitties.
Power Core
The power core is the heart of the mecha-raccoon. If the kitties destroy it, they shut down the entire creature.
Reactions
- •Mecha-Antibodies to the Rescue: One or two mecha-antibodies use their Reactions.
- •Power Drain: Power core targets one kitty and heals one Owie. The kitty cannot use their Magical Power until somebody deals an Owie to the power core.
Special
- Power Battery: Each time the power core suffers an Owie, one kitty whose power was drained regains their ability to use their power.
Destruction: If the kitties destroy the power core, the entire mecha-raccoon is disabled and all kitties who lost their powers regain them.
