Title: Animals with CFD ?
Post by: belaran on <02-29-16/1048:40>
Slamm-0! mentions that in Chrome Flesh (p.219):

"The virus worked fine on other animals with sufficiently developed brains"

Was this covered in some books ? I can't recall seeing anything about that in either Boston Lockdown or Stolen Souls. What would be the behavior of such creature ? Some example and description would help see how (or not) to use such critters....

Pretty sure it was mentioned in Lockdown, but not near my books to look up any references.  Although I think it was mentioned, not detailed.

There was also mention of some folks trying to capture a Monad cat, which I always took to mean a CFD infected feline.  There aren't any hard rules to differentiate critters vs. metahumans with CFD. 

As far as behavior goes, I think the AI is much more likely to win, thus apply those behaviors various CFD victims have, in an animal body.  It's basically an AI in a biodrone at that point.  As far as the stats go, take the critter and start sticking CFD stuff in it.  It'll be funny when some zookeeper tries to tranq a lion and sees the load that would have taken an elephant down not even phase it.
