Baba Yaga's Hut is a Mech

Scarab Sages

This week we look at an old foe through a new lens, examining Baba Yaga's place in Starfinder and providing Mech stats for her Hut!

Huh. I missed the connection between Baba Yaga and Triaxus. Is she the reason why Triaxus has such weird seasons?

Also, not that it makes a huge difference, but I'd suggest adding a mention making explicit that the Hut of Baba Yaga is an artifact, and that its "destruction condition" is "the permanent death of Baba Yaga". AKA, "Hah, good luck". *ahem*

Also also, if I were running this kind of thing I'd have the appearance of the Hut explicitly variable, in the sense that if she wants, it *can* appear as a high tech mechanical walker, or its traditional chicken legged form, or pretty much any other imaginable variation on "building that walks". Which it appears as depends on the whims of Baba Yaga. Sometimes she makes it "blend in" to the surrounding milieu, sometimes she makes it stand out.

Absolutely. "The hut cannot be reduced to fewer than 0 hit points, no matter what damage, circumstances, or environment it might be subjected to after its defeat." is included, but I don't have the artifact entry for it added in. The hut can be defeated, but never destroyed.

I like the variable appearance, and should have included that. Definitely a part of the lore.
