Alright /tg/, what's your favorite monster?

inb4 Man

Succubus unredeemed
>>47192533
Iron man was a fucking douche in civil war
Muh dead parents muh random white guilt black kid wahhhhh
>>47192558
>he doesn't know what inb4 means and assumes I'm talking about Iron Manyou need to be 18 to post here
Then again he was a douche in comics civil war
Oh wait that was one of the stupid points of that arc
Gelatinous cubes. They are almost as iconic as mimics and beholders.
>>47192633
that was a fun fight. interesting design. shame the game also had three monkeys in it, instead of one monkey and two other interesting monsters.
I can't remember the name of it but it was an evil tree that grew people shaped fruit that would wander around and capture victims to feed the tree with
>>47192721
Sounds like something you'd find on /d/
Beholders, no contest.
>>47192520
Depends on the setting.
>>47192721
Yellow Musk Creeper
Always been partial to the manticore.
>>47192721
That thing from the Sunless Citadel, right? Kinda found it meh myself.
>>47192706
I don't see what was wrong with Kecha, Congalala, and Rajang especially since Rajang is on a whole different level then the other two but then I'd say Rajang's thing is more being an Ogre then a monkey.
That said
Zinogre hands down

Orcwort?
>>47192870
There's nothing wrong with them individually, I just wish they'd done more interesting things than, "well, we did a monkey, how about a gorilla next?"
>>47192877
Yes this thing. Thanks anon.
>This giant plant wanders by night until it finds an appropriate spot to settle, then sinks some of its roots into the ground, making it seem that an immense tree has grown up in the spot overnight. Over the course of the next week, the orcwort produces five to twenty pods that, when mature, break open to release mobile fruits called wortlings. The parent plant then sends out its wortlings in hunting parties to bring back warm-blooded sustenance—usually livestock and humanoids. An orcwort is capable of devouring the entire population of a small village in a single feeding. Once it has stripped an area of warm-blooded animal life, it moves on in search of other population centres.
Spooky
>>47192721
Sounds like the Ninmenka from an Inuyasha episode.
That shit gave me the heebie jeebies
>>47192835
This. Such an iconic monster and great for that "Shit just got real" moment.
>>47192870
I believe Rajang is a Baboon, not an Ogre.
>>47192706
I wish there were more mammals in MH4. The Wyverns and Dragons got a little dull after a while. Online apparently has a beaver monster.
Also: Tribal minotaurs
>>47192520
You already posted it.
Turned that fucker into a skeleton carrying apc mofo.
Fast zombie hollowed out. Was viciously deadly.
Ended up getting my cohort dread knight to ride into battle against a circle of Druids/casters.
spider climb/silence is a helluva combo.
>>47192520
Yup, that's mine too. Bulettes are awesome. Its been my fav since I got started in 3rd edition.
I played as one in a Halloween monster game. My friend played a Xorn. He could phase through ground and I could burrow. He surfed on my back and we burst into a castle to fight a vampire.
>>47192520
People.
Otherwise, wolves. Like, actual dangerous wolves.
Mimics.
My favorite use of the mimic, I think, was when the players walked into a room with two "gargoyles" and a chest. They poked one gargoyle in the chest to see if it was hostile, and one player asked them very politely to "please be friendly we're not enemies and don't want to fight."
Then they fucked that chest up. A handful of spells and several power attacks later, one of the "gargoyles" reverted back to a mimic and latched onto the player in the back.
To the polite player's credit, the other gargoyle really was a gargoyle, and changed its pose to "hey man, I didn't know that was a mimic, I don't want any trouble either."
Aboleth, everything about them is cool as fuck.
>>47192590
He wasn't a douche in the comics, he was a straight up villain that we were supposed to think was in the right for some stupid fucking reason.
He was wrong in every way, broke every fucking rule, and fucked the whole Marvel universe hard, but he was 'in the right' according to Marvel who apparently wants to promote the idea that the government can do no god damned wrong.
At least the writers knew it was stupid as fuck and even had a character (Squirrel Girl of all people) express as much in one small scene.
That said,
Sexy rust monster.
>>47193531
I too enjoy bulettes, they're like mini-Tarrasques that hate elves almost as much as /tg/ does.
Really liked that 3.5 splatbook spell that lets rangers and druids turn into them, being able to cast and then burrow underground for your move action takes people off-guard.
>>47192520
I can't choose. There's too many.
Balor? Dragon? Nightwalker? Banshee? Lich? Atropal?
I have no idea.
>>47192520
Pic related. Giant panther-looking dragons that live in jungles, love ancient ruins, and breathe acidic snakes.
Whether it's the huge one in elder evils or the medium size ones, I love the Worm That Walks. Such a cool monster. Big guy works great as the subject of worship for a cult while its smaller counterparts work as false liches. I always include these guys in my campaigns.

I used one as the BBEG of my last campaign, while doing my best Robert California impression.
>>47192520
Any kind of worms, really. They are just so versatile regarding environments. Close second is the necromantic Zombie for the same reason. Classics really.
>>47194445
Acidic snakes?
Tell me more.

Care to elaborate? I don't know anything about SCP aside from its one game that came out a while back.
Blink dogs. They can let themselves outside to do their business without the need for a doggie door.

HYDRA
>>47197828
It started out as a fairly interesting wiki of weird and dangerous fictional objects and organisms, but as time went on the number of ridiculous objects that don't fit the original tone at all went up, test subject prisoner deaths skyrocketed to absurd levels as people added high body counts to SCPs to make them seem more dangerous without actually writing in a way that would give that feeling, and the moderators got more and more controlling and self centered, writing themselves into just about every SCP object. The head moderator's character is heavily implied to be Satan. There are SCPs that are favored/overpowered to absurdity, notably the one that survived getting shot into the sun and hates everything, except for a littler girl that everyone else hates.
It's kind of a septic pit with a rare gem amongst the turds as it is right now.

You mean this creepy thing, the Chalicotherium?
Yes, in a 'Oh my god, it's going to tear me apart and not even care', kind of way.

Weirdly enough, a whole lot of games have this exact monster. It's practically one of the standards you will find in many system's monster manuals, next to the dragons and the minotaurs. I'm not sure why.
>>47192533
TURNS OUT IT WAS MAN
>>47197870
This is an absolutely terrifying concept. So much honking.
>>47197893
Don't forget the one they are trying to kill but is immune to absolutely everything up to, and including, black holes.
BUT, is harmed enough by hydrochloric acid to keep it contained.
Really inconsistent writing, constant power creep and a refusal to really retcon any old stuff to keep up already reeks of lazy writing.
They're so cute but so deadly.
>>47197893
I mostly agreed with what you said up until the end there. The idea behind 682 is not power wank but to prevent power wank. It's the same kind of benchmark entity/autist bait as The Lady of Pain, Squirrel Girl, or pic related; the idea being that if you can beat it you are powerwanking too hard.The throw into the sun was a joke article, you can tell by the j in the id
>>47198020
>>47192520
Sea Serpent. There is something cool, scary, and majestic about these monsters.
>>47192520
Otyugh. No campaign is complete without an otyugh.

>tfw they used to be real millions of years ago
>>47198280
You'd be smug too if you were a skinless murder horse.
>>47198260
I can agree with the concept, but if your OP defense is way too fucking powerful in the first place then it becomes kind of ineffective.
Transapient AI. Or evil robots for short.
Amorphous non-slime or irregular shaped creatures are my favorite
So fungal and or swarming alien types
>>47198260
Doesn't explain why they are afraid it's immune to 123.
Once you hit that level, your anti-powerwank is literally just powerwank.

What about aMermaid Kentauride?

Aw yeah, Raggamofyns! I love those guys.
Motherfucking Formians
Not only are they completely awesome Lawful Neutral ant people, but they occupy a huge part of Mechanus (infinite, gear-filled, plane of law) and are led by the Scion Queen Mother, a pseudo-deity Formian Queen who is attended to at all times by THIRTY THREE Gargantuan sized Formian Queens, which she is still much larger than.
I use these bastards in every game I run, and attempt to befriend/enslave at least one Formian worker (like, regular ants, they can lift multiple times their own body weight) whenever I play a character that encounters them.
>>47192520
Your mom.
>>47198020
Man when i was a boy and all i did was read books about monsters the nuckelavee was bar none one of my favorites. No doubt ones gunna be in one of my campaigns
I think the the aboleth is the coolest. A psychic fish that makes humans worship it like a god for some reason just gets me excited to make a campaign based around aquatic exploration and shadow over innsmouth-esque encounters and plot hooks.

You forget that even their children have a generational genetic memory that goes back to the birth of the world. And that they are scared of the Ithillids because they cannot remember them.
>>47199896
That's because the mind flayers come from the future and seem to be in some sort of time loop.
>>47199995
The aboleths reaction to this can be sumised thusly.

Literally why? Like this is a racial trait? This would be like if skunks sprayed clouds of stink in the shape of bears. If it's a spell I can get it, but I don't think that's what's happening here.
>>47201336
They're dragons. They've got millenia of magical fuckery under their species' collective belt. Poison that takes the form of a snake is hardly the weirdest thing a dragon does, let alone breathes. I mean shit, there are dragons that breath force. Not air, just raw force.
>>47201391
Yeah, but those are forces. This is LITERALLY a racial trait that displays in the form of a totally unrelated species. Again, it's like the skunk example. Magic or not, this is just fucking bizarre.
>>47200985
Yes I do.
>>47201466
>Yeah, but those are forces.

A party I was in just survived an encounter with a clowder of dire kittens. It was an interesting experience. Sadly the team didn't like my idea of taming one so they all had to explode. I learned that exploding is pretty much the only way a dire kitten can die.
