DERELICT ROVER
- MONSTER
- MARS
- RARE MONSTER
DERELICT ROVER is a rare oddity that turns up on MARS on most runs, alone.
A unit written off after a dust storm and left where it stopped, three seasons ago. Something has been keeping its batteries topped up, and the colony's maintenance log has no entry for it.

The monster at its baseline, before a venue has placed it. What it really fields on each difficulty is under “Where you meet it”.
Where you meet it
MARS
It is placed by hand on MARS and waits at its post until you come close.
MARS rolls one rare monster from a short list on most runs, and this is one of the names on it.

What to know
- ROLLSGets about on wheels or treads rather than on legs.
- RARE MONSTERFields 5× the health, 1.5× the damage and pays 5× the experience of an ordinary monster of its kind.
- WHAT IT WAS CARRYINGNothing. It has no pockets, and never had wages — a kill pays in gear, not in coin.
- WHEN STRUCKIt throws sparks. A blow that overwhelms it bursts it into wire, cells and torn plate, and it smokes where it lands.
