Hakflem Skuttlespike

Mega-Star. Hiring cost 200,000 gp. Plays for: Underworld Challenge.

Special rule: Treacherous

Once per game, when activated next to a team-mate holding the ball, he may take it; that team-mate is Knocked Down without a Turnover.

On the pitch

Hakflem is a Gutter Runner with ST 3 and three mutations. Two Heads adds one to every dodge on top of Dodge and AG 2+, so he goes through tackle zones at will. Extra Arms helps every pick-up and catch, and Prehensile Tail punishes anyone dodging away. Treacherous is the trick: once a game, when he activates beside a team-mate holding the ball, he takes it and the team-mate falls over with no turnover.

Skaven, Underworld Denizens, Snotlings and Goblins in the Underworld Challenge can hire him, and Skaven get the most from him as a Gutter Runner who survives a push. For Snotlings and Goblins he is the only dependable ball handler on the pitch. He is a Mega-Star at 200k, cheap for that label. AV 8+ with no Block means one Tackle blitz removes him, and Loner (4+) is harsh on a player who lives on agility rolls.
