Toxic Talons (300 OM, requires physical, debuff proficiency)
Upon the deserts of Merax, no evolutionary advantage or dirty trick was passed up in the constant struggle for survival. While the venom glands of their ancestors have withered in recent millennia, gene-therapy treatments have allowed both the ruling genius caste and their soldiers to reclaim the legacy of old. Axemerax's gland has a tendency to overproduce in times of intense emotions, with the paralytic fluids drooling from his mouth. Due to the inefficiency of attempting to bite a target, Axemerax instead elects to raise his claws to his mouth, daubing them in the substance. For the next 10 seconds, or until his claws make contact with an opponent, The Primus's claws are venom-coated. If this poison enters the bloodstream of a target, they become paralyzed for a period of time equal to 4-DEF. Due to the time it takes to regenerate the poison, this move can only be used once every 20 seconds. If his first blow after application fails to enter the bloodstream, the poison is wasted.
Compound 27-Sigma (300 OM, requires ranged, area attack, debuff proficiency)
The God-Kings of Sivin were one of Axemerax's first conquests. A highly psychic species, their ruling caste of telepaths were worshiped as gods by their lessers, spending every moment bathing in the adoring thoughts of their flock. This devotion created a staunch bulwark of insectoid bodies for the armies of The Alignment to breach, their numbers and fanaticism, coupled with the calculating minds behind the defense, almost succeeded at stalling the advance of Axemerax's Legions. Almost. After months in the lab, Compound 27-Sigma was created, a drastic alteration of a street drug fabricated on some Sivin worlds.
Rather than the pleasant hallucinations the original created, 27-Sigma generated terror. Released over the citadels of the God-Kings with the aid of slave-shackled Sivin citizens released into the crowd, millions of the insectoid creatures went mad with fear, every moment of terror being telepathically passed on to the arthropod aristocracy above. With their ruler caste irredeemably mad, resistance was soon crushed.
Axemerax keeps 27-Sigma stored in canisters in his right shoulder, a tube emerging to launch one on demand. Once launched, the grenade travels up to 50 meters before detonating on impact, creating a haze 5 meters in radius, afflicting all those who breathe it in with its effects. Upon inhaling the toxin, the unfortunate victim begins to hallucinate for 5 seconds, with the duration being extended for as long as they remain inside the cloud. These hallucinations turn everything in the vicinity into a darker, somewhat more terrifying version of itself: Axemerax, a nearly 3-meter tall cyborg lizard bastard only needs marginal altering, the empty void of the nexus becomes a bottomless pit, the victim's own arms become riddled with flesh-eating beetles, etc. The cloud lasts for 5 seconds. This move may only be used every 20 seconds.
