畸变生物图文介绍
异形袭掠龙
地下/地表死神国王/王后-异形袭掠龙-Reaper,之所以冠以异形之号,官方给出的代码写的就是Xenomorph(异形),所以尊重一波官方的意见。然后袭掠龙这个称呼实际上是来自骷髅岛的早期设定里边的大型兽脚类恐龙袭虐龙,Reaper意思是收割,掠夺,所以取名袭掠龙。
Wild
野生
At home in the cavern's deepest chambers, Reapers are towering, terrifying apex predators. Beyond overwhelming their prey with fangs and claws, Reapers can burrow underground to set an ambush and fire acidic projectiles from their tails.
生活在洞穴深处的异形袭掠龙(Xenomorph sp.)是硕大而恐怖的超级掠食者。除了令人不寒而栗的尖牙利爪,异形袭掠龙还能够钻到地底下伺机而动,并用能够使用尾巴弹射出炙热的酸性液体。
Yet it is their macabre method of reproduction that is their most frightening feature. Bizarrely, a female Reaper's tail doubles as a reproductive organ, but only when piercing human survivors. Once impregnated, the survivor carries the young reaper until it bursts from their chest in a grotesque, disturbing spectacle.
而最让人毛骨悚然的是她们恐怖的繁殖方式。袭掠龙皇后以尾巴作为生殖器官进行打击,但是只会对人类幸存者才有用。一旦幸存者怀上了皇后的龙种,寄主就会一直携带着幼年袭掠龙,直到一日它破腹而出,想想就令人胆寒……

If impregnated by a female Reaper, I strongly urge that the survivor kill the embryo via exposure to radiation. However, there are rumors that Reapers might imprint themselves on a survivor who possesses a Reaper pheromone gland.
如果你怀上了一个袭掠龙皇后的种,强烈建议这名幸存者通过接受辐射的形式把胚胎杀死。而有传言称,幼年袭掠龙会对拥有袭掠龙性信息腺体的幸存者们产生“铭印”现象。
This has led some mad survivors with dreams of riding on the back of a Reaper to try seeing the gestation period through to the end, but that is extremely dangerous, not to mention disgusting.
所以就有些梦想着驾驭袭掠龙的疯子会尝试经历这段痛苦的妊娠期,直到分娩为止。但是这个事情真的十分危险,更不用说多令人作呕了。
劫掠犬
劫掠犬(Canis Barghest),学名的意思是地狱魔犬,来自英国民间传说中的犬状妖怪,Ravager意思接近劫掠者,为了强调这货是犬类改动了一下名称。
Canis的身份可能暗示劫掠犬其实是恐狼的畸变种。
Wild
野生
Anywhere else, Canis Barghest's powerful muscles, wicked claws, and fearsome countenance would put it near the top of the food chain. Yet in these caves, this common, lupine predator resides somewhere in the middle. That said, it is an intelligent hunter with an exceptional ability to adapt. For example, it has learned to utilize the zip lines that survivors have built as a means of travel, all on its own. Remarkable!
要是放别的地方,劫掠犬(Canis Barghest)的强大力量,邪恶的利爪以及面目可憎的表情理应让它成为地方一霸。但是在畸变的世界里,这太常见了,犬形掠食者在这个世界里最多也就在食物链中层。即便如此,它还是个有着非凡适应性的聪明的猎人。例如,它以及学会利用人类作为旅行工具拉建的缆线,这些都是劫掠犬所独一无二的特点。

轩辕巨蟒
轩辕巨蟒(Serpens regulus),学名意思可以理解很多种,Serpens是巨蛇,Regulus是轩辕十四(或者狮子座α星)的意思,位于狮子座。之所以翻译成蟒是因为我觉得它是泰坦蟒的畸变种(但是奇怪的是它和泰坦蟒共存在畸变世界)。
顺带解释一下,方舟的泰坦蟒是方舟的独立种,学名Titanoboa exomantur,意思是长着华丽装饰的巨型蚺蛇,意指泰坦蟒脖子那一圈褶皱。
wild
野生
More than twice the size of wild Titanoboa Exomantur, Serpens Regulus is the largest and most lethal snake I've encountered. With a skull that's more draconic than serpentine, it possesses a powerful bite, made even deadlier by the potent venom dripping from its fangs.
轩辕帝蟒(Serpens regulus)是我见过的最大,最致命的蛇类,甚至比饰纹泰坦蟒(Titanoboa exomantur,方舟特有倭化种)还大两倍左右。轩辕帝蟒长着一个比蛇更像龙的脑袋,并且拥有强大的咬力和滴淌着更致命的毒液的毒牙。
The unique shape of its skull allows Serpens to hunt in a way that other snakes cannot: by burrowing. Once underground, it simply waits for its victims to approach. Fortunately its forked tail is usually still visible, poking just aboveground.
其头骨独特的形状使帝蟒拥有一种别的蛇类做不到的技能:遁地。一旦钻进地下,他只需要在地下守株待兔。幸运的是它分叉的尾巴仍然肉眼可见,只是被埋在土里边而已。

晦暗岩龙
晦暗岩龙(Draconis obscurum)学名意思是昏暗的龙,obscurum是obscure的拉丁化,同名物种有暗色溪花鳉Fluviphylax obscurum和暗旗鳉Aphyosemion obscurum,值得一提的是。
焦土和仙境中的四种飞龙都属于Draconis属的毒龙种D.vipera,也就是说火龙电龙冰龙都只是毒龙的亚种或者变种,而晦暗岩龙却是Draconis属的独立种。
Wild
野生
Draconis Obscurum is a magnificent example of a predator that has flawlessly adapted to its environment. It is surrounded by cavern walls, so it developed powerful claws with which to scale them and colorful plumage on its anterior limbs that let it glide from perch to perch.
晦暗岩龙(Draconis Obscurum)是一个众多掠食者中的完美地适应其环境的极好例子。由于它被洞穴组成的墙壁所重重包围,它进化出了强而有力的利爪,它的前肢还有展开的鳞片和色彩斑斓的羽毛,这能帮助它从一处滑翔到另一处。
But most dangerous of all? Its active camouflage, which lets it fade into the shadows and stalk its prey undetected.
但是岩龙最大的危险是什么?它的机动伪装,这能够让它在暗影中“消失”并且利用这招追击猎物。
敏捷巨螯蟹
敏捷巨螯蟹(Karkinos versatus),原型应当是现存的大名鼎鼎的甘氏巨螯蟹(Macrocheira kaempferi,所谓的日本杀人蟹),Karkinos是巨蟹座的拉丁化,versatus的意思有两种,1,转动(Turned),2,敏捷的,熟练的。这里应该意指它的敏捷性。
Wild
野生
Karkinos Versatus is the giant cousin of modern crab species, with long, spindly limbs that remind me of the Japanese Spider Crab and a hard, stony shell. It is much more agile than its smaller brethren, but even more noticeable are its pincer claws.
敏捷巨螯蟹(Karkinos versatus)是现代螃蟹种类的巨大表亲,长着修长的四肢,让人想起了甘氏巨螯蟹(Macrocheira kaempferi)和外壳坚硬的砗磲(Tridacna gigas)。敏捷巨螯蟹比它的小亲戚们更加敏捷,但更引人瞩目的是它的巨钳。
In an extraordinary display of dexterity, Karkinos is able to wield each claw independently and precisely. This allows it to trap multiple targets in its vice like grip, or hold an enemy in one claw while it smashes a second foe with the other.
在一次非凡的敏捷度展示中,巨螯蟹能够独立地使用每一个利爪。这使它可以以此钳制多个目标,或者在它一只螯钳住一个敌人的时候用另一只螯粉碎另一个敌人。

恼人追寻者
恼人追寻者(Chimaeram odiosus),Seeker意为追寻者,odiosus, 意思是恼人的 (annoying),至于Chimaeram是指一种叫奇美拉的玩意。顺带一嘴,这玩意召唤代码中有个别名叫Pteroteuthis, 是无齿翼龙Pteranodon和托斯特巨鱿Tusoteuthis的合成词,意思大致是鱿鱼头翼龙.
Wild
野生
A highly hostile predator with a pack mentality, Chimaeram Odiosus has a voracious appetite, and will quickly swarm anything that possesses its favorite delicacy: Charge.
胃口贪婪的恼人追寻者(Chimaeram Odiosus)是一种高度敌对的群居掠食者,并且它们会迅速聚集到任何拥有它们最喜欢的食物——电荷的地方。
Fact, Charge light seems to be crucial to its survival. When in its presence, they are strong and aggressive, but without it, they are weaker and quicker to flee.
事实上,电荷光似乎对其生存至关重要。当它出现时,它们强大而好战,但是没有电荷的时候,它们会越来越虚弱,溜得也更快。
Though distinct from any known species, Chimaeram's appearance is a hideous pastiche of bats and cephalopods, and as an unbiased professional, I have to say: I really hate these bloody things. Honestly.
在公正专业的角度上讲,虽然追寻者不同于任何已知物种,它的外貌看上去就像一个可怕的长着章鱼脑袋的蝙蝠,讲真,我不得不说我真的太恶心这些该死的玩应了。

翻滚巨裸鼹
翻滚巨裸鼹(Heterocephalus Magnus),Heterocephalus是裸鼹鼠属属名,Maganus意思是大的。结合“RollRat”的名字取名翻滚巨裸鼹。
Wild
野生
Bearing a strong resemblance to its relative, the Naked Mole Rat, Heterocephalus Magnus is a gentle giant that digs for plants and fungi with its imposing front teeth. While foraging, it often uncovers precious resources inadvertently, but survivors should claim them with caution, as this triggers an aggressive response.
与它的亲戚裸鼹鼠(Heterocephalus glaber)有很多相似的地方,翻滚巨裸鼹(Heterocephalus magnus)是一个用其巨大的门齿挖掘植物和真菌的泥足巨人。在觅食的过程中,它们经常无意发现珍贵的资源,但是幸存者们应当慎重,否则会引起它的攻击性反应。
When threatened, Heterocephalus rolls up into a ball to shield itself with the armored plates on its back, much like an armadillo. It then rolls around like an oversized bowling ball, smashing through rocks, walls, and hopefully its aggressor.
当受到威胁,翻滚巨裸鼹会蜷成一个巨球,利用背上的装甲板保护自己,就像犰狳那样。之后他会像一个保龄球一样到处滚动,贯穿岩石,墙壁,以及对它不怀好意的掠食者。

奇葩早期怪物无名
刻律涅小耀角鹿
刻律涅小耀角鹿(Microlumins cerynitis),意思是微小(Micro)的光芒(Lumina);而Cerynitis实际上是出自希腊神话故事中,阿尔忒弥斯拉车用座驾——刻律涅牝鹿,这是一种仅有五只,疾逾飞箭的神鹿,其中最后一只被大力神赫拉克勒斯杀死。
Wild野生
Most commonly found in the upper chambers of the caverns, Microluminis Cerynitis is at once elegant and adorable. As with its relatives, it is entirely peaceful, and no threat to survivors.
刻律涅小耀角鹿(Microluminis Cerynitis)第一眼感觉既优雅而可爱,它在洞穴的上部十分常见。像它的亲戚一样,小耀角鹿是对幸存者毫无威胁的完全和平主义者。
无名怪
无名怪,一个不知道怎么命名怎么分类的神话物种,这点我尊重蜗牛方面,没有重新给他取名字。
无名怪的起源至今仍然是个未解之谜,但是无论它起源何处,这个恶魔都没有值得嘲笑之处,它们从不单独出现。普通的无名怪会追随它们族群首领的一切行为,并且会快速的注意到战斗呼唤。
看似举止野蛮的无名怪实际上非常聪明。当他们受到伤害时,它们会挖洞遁地保护自己免受进一步的伤害。幸运的是,它们很容易受到电荷光的伤害和炙烤,只要利用这个弱点就可以救人于水火之中。
家养
一切试图驯服这些无名怪的企图通通破产。无名怪们之间拥有牢不可破的纽带,区区人类是无法征服的。
闪光异形七鳃鳗
闪光异形七鳃鳗(Xenomyzon luminosus)
这是我遇到过的最毒的几种水生生物之一。它标志性的发光尾巴让它很容易被发现和辨认,但是这些发光腺体中生产并储存一种会使人逐渐虚弱的毒素。
Xenomycon has developed a particular fondness for blood, and whenever possible, it will attempt to latch onto human subjects. Once it does, it injects a poison for which there are only two cures: A specialized antidote or time. I would not recommend the latter.
异形七鳃鳗早已进化的嗜血如命,它会尽可能地抓住人类身上的任意一个地方。一旦成功,它会注射一种毒素,而疗法只有两种:专用的解药或者时间,我不建议后者。

灵魂耀尾蜥
灵魂耀尾蜥(Microluminis psykhe),这里出现了个BUG,图鉴中的耀尾蜥竟然和小耀角鹿(Microlumins)共用了同一个属名,作为爬行动物的耀尾蜥和哺乳动物小耀角鹿竟然是同一个属的?作为生物学家的图鉴作者海伦娜怕是要打回去复读几年咯。psykhe的意思是灵魂(soul).
Wild
With a body reminiscent of a gecko, fluttery wings and a natural stockpile of charge light, Microluminis Psykhe has an unearthly, if oddly charming appearance. A curious creature by nature, it always gave me the impression that it was studying me as much as I was studying it.
有着让人联想到壁虎的躯体,飘扬的翅膀和天然的电荷光储备机制,灵魂耀尾蜥(Microluminis psykhe)有着神秘而迷人的外表。这是一个天性好奇的生物,我一直觉得它总是在研究我,就像我研究它那样。
A favorite snack of many predators, this small lizard has no natural poisons, or any means of defending itself at all save for a swift retreat and its charge light. Survivors can approach it without fear.
作为许多掠食者的美味,这种无毒小蜥蜴没有任何的自卫手段,除了迅速逃走和它的电荷光源。幸存者可以毫不忌惮的接近它。

报晓光羽鸟
报晓光羽鸟(Microluminus alectryon),属名跟上边提过的小耀角鹿和耀尾蜥一样,都是“发光的小动物”的意思;alectryon是我根据原意引申出来的翻译,原意是出自希腊神话的阿勒克特里翁:
阿勒克特里翁原来是战神阿瑞斯的忠实奴仆,一次阿瑞斯和爱神爱芙罗蒂狄偷情,负责站岗放哨的阿勒克特里翁却不小心睡着了,结果被赫利俄斯发现了,并将此事通报奥林匹斯众神导致二人出丑。
而失职的阿勒克特里翁最终被阿瑞斯变成了一只负责报晓的公鸡,而我翻译的时候就引申出了报晓之意。
顺带一提,蜗牛方面翻译的时候只是把字面上的light翻译成了“轻”,而没有想到它的本意其实是“光芒”。
A floating beacon of light often found in the deepest pits of these caverns, Microluminus Alectryon's appearance can seem almost heavenly. It's colorful plumage doesn't hurt either. Even without the charged light it emits, it would give any modern bird on Earth a run for its money in terms of pure spectacle.
这些浮动的光柱经常在洞穴深处被发现,报晓光羽鸟(Microluminus alectryon)给人一种神圣的感觉。它色彩斑斓的鸟羽没有任何危害,即使没有它散发出来的电荷光,它也能给你带来任何地球上的鸟类给人观赏所挣到的一样多的钱财。
Although its feathery eyebrows might give one of the impression that it is related to owls, it is not a bird of prey. It is entirely docile, and shows no aggression towards survivors or other creatures.
虽然它眉毛状的羽毛给人感觉它跟鸮形目可能有亲缘关系,但是它是十分温驯的鸟类,对人类和其他生物没有任何敌意。
Domesticated
Microluminus Alectryon's ability to fly and the ease with which it perches upon a survivor's shoulder has made it a favored pet among many. Some consider it the most refined of its glowing brethren, but I think they just want them to look like pirate. Not that I blame them...
许多人视报晓光羽鸟为宠物界的宠儿,它们的飞行技巧和实用性让它们在肩头伙伴中颇受欢迎。有些人认为它们简直是闪耀的存在,如同忠诚的伙伴。然而,我得说句实话,感觉这些小鸟有点像自命不凡的空中海盗,充满了独特的魅力与疯狂
