Col. Nub

Nub is a mutated animal (sorta a Cat, Possum and Hedgehog mix) in the Gamma World RPG. Nub is about two feet tall and fairly gifted at figuring out a lot of old technology. However, being an animal and two feet tall is somewhat of a disadvantage as most items were designed for Pure Strain Humans. 

After a series of adventures in his younger years Nub became a leading citizen and militia leader in Neo Orleans. He still carried the .357 Magnum pistol he stole...uh, requisitioned from the time he had been impressed into the Ranks of the Fit.
