Hodch

Hodch is the Gorn term for the commanding officer of a ship or unit of the Gorn Hegemony. Hodches are physically imposing beings that tower over every other species in the Alpha Quadrant. The tactics and movesets of Hodches are the same as the lower-ranked Ra'wiqs.

Armament[]

• Claw: Hodches do not rely on directed energy weapons; they instead prefer to use their sharp claws and teeth to subdue enemies. Moreover, their strong-muscled bodies are protected only by their resilient, scaly skin.

Abilities[]

• Bite
• Hold Resist
• Push Back Resistance
• Strong Hold Resist
• Hurl Boulder: In lieu of ranged weapons, Hodches will throw a piece of scenery at a target to deal heavy Physical damage.
