Ulriks Minion Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Everyone knows that Lukas has a pelt of a chameleonic doppegangrel, but does anyone know what a chameleonic doppegangrel is? lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206621-doppegangrel/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSpike Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I'm not sure what GW fluff says about the beast, but the name is formed from: Chameleon: Reptile that can change colour. Doppelgänger: A double, a person who looks identical. Often used as the name of a beast that can change to replicate someone's appearance. Gangrel: From the old Scottish for a Wanderer, a Clan was named Gangrel in White Wolf's Vampire game. Overall: Changer, taking another's shape.

Frontline989 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 From the sculpt it looks very reptilian which is odd considering Fenris is a icy cold world. It must be resistant to cold somehow.

Skirax Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 BlackSpike really nailed it, it's in the name; chameleonic. The very fact that Lukas killed it makes him a very skilled hunter.

Wysten Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I thought it was made from the hair of every woman he had laid at the age of 12, and it's properties were made as to sheild him from the child protection agencys to cover up warhammers deep shame! XD I've never seen one though, it's probably a very elusive beast on Feris.

Cpt. Lacerus Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 From the sculpt it looks very reptilian which is odd considering Fenris is a icy cold world. It must be resistant to cold somehow. Maybe its a warm-blooded reptile :lol: Hey its 40k. It could happen!

Ulriks Minion Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 Maybe it immitates a fenrisian person and hides within the people Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206621-doppegangrel/#findComment-2465272 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirax Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I think, for pure fluff purposes, Lukas should have been an Elite choice that can be joined by 4-9 Blood Claws that all have the Outflank special rule, to show them springning a well prepared trap.

Coverfire Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I put it to you that the Reptile like creature hibernates during the coldest years or takes on the shape of another warmer bloodied beast (depending on how skilled those chameleonic really are); and is most powerful if the years that Fenris is closest to it sun. Remember that Fenris is not always an ice planet, but becomes a planet of fire and change as well. If the Doppegangrel does hibernate and only comes out in the warmer time of the planets' orbit (2 Terrian years wasn't it?) then he would be very elusive and shows the hunting prowess of Lukas. However, if he doesn't hibernate and if the Doppegangrel is a reptilian creature it would be weakest in the coldest years of the planets' orbit (they are names for these season but they elude me right now) and might take on the form of another furred animal, that Lukas might have been hunting and killed. THe Doppegangrel would have then transformed back to its original shape and I bet that Lukas would not miss the opportunity to show off this great moment of fortune. I came to the second, because isn't exactly a powerhouse; and his nature would definitely enjoy the idea of bring this rarest of rare arifacts back to The Fang, acting nonchalant until pressed and creating a great epic of how he hunted this believed-mythic creature.

The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 remember were taking assumptions that a scaled creature on planet fenris which goes between bone chilling cold freezing entire seas to boiling oceans is the same as a scaled creature on our pleasant little ball. terran biology doesnt always equate to fenrisian biology you know? for all we know this creature could have been perfectly happy in ice cold waters/land or in some sort of temperate heat zone during the seasons of fire. so basically we can conclude that its scaled, hard to kill, harder to hunt, and that loki is the only one to do so. then again he was one of the few fenrisian teens tapping more kegs then a smashed frat boy at a sorority house if you catch my drift which makes him god to some nerds.

Night Runner Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I thing these creatures would act similarly to those human sized doppleganger cockroaches in the movie 'Mimic'.

CainTheHunter Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Some kind of genetically enhanced beast created by the first Fenris settlers to battle the hosile fauna or Tyranids - alike of the Fenrisian wolves probably.

SeanyPrawny Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 A totally made up creature by Lukas. A real hoax. A pelt made up of random things he found and a story created to make him out to be awesome. Come on its no so far fetched an idea considering the 'tricksters' behaviour. Other than that I'd go with the 'mimic' idea. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206621-doppegangrel/#findComment-2465872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
