OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Doomjaws are massive, monstrously strong war droids roughly reminiscent of bears. Given their mechanical nature and heavy construction, they are notably less agile than their natural counterparts - a Doomjaw in motion is unlikely to be able to change its course without great effort.
Despite this, it would be a dangerous mistake to think them slow; mechanical musculature and untiring pistons propel them forward with incredible speed when the circumstances call for it. Combined with their size and bulk, this allows the droids to smash through duracrete walls with surprising ease. Even armoured vehicles are not safe from their wrath, for their massively upscaled vibroclaws can rend through all but the thickest plating.
- Intent: For when you need a droid able to rip apart a main battle tank.

- Firejaws are the most common Doomjaw model. Their massive forms radiate intense heat and the gouts of fire they breathe are more than sufficient to reduce your average soldier to a burned-out husk if caught out in the open. Light infantry are particularly vulnerable.
- Pestijaws are horrific killing machines that exhale potent toxins, war plagues, and flesh-melting gasses. Protective gear advised.
- Frostjaws seem to swallow up ambient heat with their presence along - their CryoBan breath makes armoured vehicles brittle.
- Stormjaws release bolts of ionising lightning designed to disable droids and vehicles - or electrocute organics to death.
- Thunderjaws are a rare Doomjaw model able to project waves of raw kinetic force and bolts of sonic energy.
- Modularity: Significant, see above.
- Production: Minor
- Material: Hexalloy-Duramentium Chassis.
- Classification: Class Four
- Weight: Extremely Heavy
- Height: Very Large
- Movement: Quadrupedal
- Armaments: Vibroclaws and Vibrojaw, various elemental projectors.
- Misc. Equipment: All standard equipment; sensors, anti-virus software, etc.
- Resistances: Resistant to most common hazards.
- Energy Weapons: High
- Kinetic Weapons: High
- Lightsabers: Low
- Ion/EMP: High
- Doomjaws are outfitted with a variety of elemental projectors able to emit fire, lightning, vicious toxins, and more depending on their model. While the exact details are liable to vary, common examples include emitting their element as a breath, coating their claws in it, or unleashing a large burst well-suited to mowing down entire groups of lightly armoured combatants.
- Walking Cataclysm: Doomjaws are war droids the size of main battle tanks with claws that rend durasteel like a scythe through wheat and the mass and momentum needed to smash through a duracrete wall. Their elemental weaponry further enhances their incredible lethality.
- Hazardous Fuel: Armoured sacs contain extremely volatile substances utilised by a Doomjaw's elemental weaponry. Just saying.
