'''Galgallim''' are fast, dangerous biomechanoids that inhabit the {{favilink|Palladium Reef}}.

The naser cannon can also inflict [[normality]], disabling many reality-distorting devices, such as {{favilink|force bracelet}} that may be protecting them, or the {{favilink|small sphere of negative weight}} which can leave a character overburdened and unable to move.

Prior to charging, galgallim will display a visual path indicator similar to the wrecking charge of a {{favilink|rhinox}} that foreshadows the direction they will charge. However, due to the {{name}}'s significantly heightened [[Quickness]], the player may not have a chance to react before the charge occurs.

When rammed with this charge, the target must succeed a DC 35 Strength [[save]] to avoid being knocked prone, as well as a DC 35 Toughness save to avoid being dazed, then takes 40-60 damage, unaffected by AV or resistances.{{Code Reference|class = RunOver}}

==Beware==

~~Whether it~~ is ~~intended behavior or not~~, ~~you may be instantly killed by a Galgal's~~ charge ~~attack~~. It is not recommended to engage one unless you have recently saved your game, or you are prepared to lose your character. Once it has knocked you ~~down~~ with its charge attack, it will ~~rapidly use~~ the ~~attack~~ again ~~and~~ again, ~~dealing intense damage and refreshing~~ the ~~knocked down effect. Even level 40+ characters~~ with ~~Zetachrome armor~~ and ~~250+ hit points may die~~ without ~~recourse after being hit once by this attack~~.

A galgal is an unparalleled threat, due to its Run Over charge ability. It is not recommended to engage one unless you have recently saved your game, or you are prepared to lose your character. Once it has in all likelihood both knocked you prone and make you dazed with its charge attack as well as dealing significant damage, it will typically immediately take another turn (due to its 175 [[Quickness]] vs the standard player's 100) and do it again. When it is once again your turn, you will spend it standing up. Now, the galgal is afforded the opportunity to take another 1-2 turns, with which it will again charge you and almost certainly knock you prone again. This usually repeats until you are dead from the attributeless flat damage each charge deals, without the chance to act at any point.
