>>>>>[You haven't explored the urban jungle all that much, have you? Some of the nastiest critters on the planet live in an urban settlement, and I'm not talking about metahumans. There's the "natural" stuff that tends to live in the sewers like the devil rat and it's bigger, meaner cousin the demon rat. Shamblers. Gargoyles. Ghouls. Let's not even talk about how many kinds of deadly awakened insect there are scurrying under the floorboards. Then there's the stuff that's been introduced, usually through Corp breeding and security programs. Basilisks, hell-hounds, barghasts. There's a breed of awakened, albino alligator that's adapted to the sewers in New York called the Ghost Gator that was originally imported by the MDC, and some escaped. They're basically a gator mixed with python, and have bodies that can squeeze through holes and pipes 1/4 their normal body mass. Oh, and they can camouflage themselves so you can't see them coming. They're one of the newer beasties that popped up on my radar lately. Rumor has it one or two have shown up in the subterranean levels of the old Renraku Archology recently, though.
There isn't anywhere safe from critters, awakened or not. And at least in the jungle, you're not usually dealing with Metahumans as well.]<<<<<
