Equipment: Tickler

The Sarnos races are a huge entertainment venue, especially on the planet Murbaine. Billions of credits are wagered on the outcomes of the races – with many having their favorite beasts.
Each Sarnos even has a social media presence and is on camera constantly – making “fixing” a race a virtual impossibility.

Each rider is encased in a cage atop the beast and is equipped with a “tickler”. The tickler is essentially a stun weapon. Sarnos are amazingly resistant to actual stunning, and instead become enraged. A properly enraged beast will move faster around the track, but enrage it too much and it will attack the closest living creature.
