So, in a really insane campaign, against really over matched forces, I had only silent image of any use to me - though, I did have my imagination and a DM with a sense of humor

Known to people who watch youtube and google "spongebab", Splenglbharg Spplorgpants is an Eldridge horror, an unspeakable evil that is so utterly terrifying, disturbing, and WRONG to the degree that even Cthulhu would probably gasp, and made pretty much everyone in the encounter shaken, not stirred, if not run away in terror, and attack their own allies in a bid to get away from the apparition of horror.
My DM laughed so hard, he just played along with it. I was congratulated for actually using my imagination :smallbiggrin:
I went on to make the image morph with concentrations - tentacles coming out of the sponge holes, turning purple, glowing diagonal slits for eyes, mouthing "HEALTHCARE REFORM" and having a tongue come out with the head of an old jewish woman at the tip like a xenomorph, etc. When we went to the enemy base after routing everyone, it took a squid-billy like visage where its a giant floating Sarah Palin's head with tentacles coming out of the neck, except made from mold and rotten meat - though the hair was perfect, the glasses were blackest obsidian while the eyes glowed through it.
So, should I go with this as a conjuration from a spell, or an actual monster you can summon or fight? Never really done homebrew before, and something that makes people die or scream from sheer terror with a really high save DC is kind of touchy.
