There is a certain problem with paranormal animals in shadowrun...
And the list is my last hope...

Whenever I want to hassle my players with tough metabears,
colour-adaptive bandersnaches or even gigantic juggernauts, the
result is the same...
'Bandersnach? Hey, I got ultrasound...'
Sammie spots the bandersnach, sammie geeks the bandersnach...
Piasma? What is his reaction? 5? 6? No match for a samurai who knows
his job... he would beat the bear to death with his bare fists...
Juggernaut?? The biggest joke, if you ask me...
No player has to be afraid of these... just give them a uzi with
APDS, poor juggernaut has to face a target number of 8 to defend
himself, while the one firing won't have a chance of missing the
beast...
Same goes for nearly all animals. They are no challenge.
Anybody got a idea (aside from: 'Up their stats.')?
