First of all, I know that I've missed a lot of weeks of WitPGFM, but I have just entered college, and Mr. Mind Flayer is extracting the crayons out of my brain. But here we go again :smallbiggrin:
Here is the point: We all put here our favorite creature/monster, and then at the end of each day "this" post will be updated with a table containing which creature has been selected and how many people do love it. At the end of the week we will see which monster is your favorite of the selected type or subtype. Every type and subtype will be randomly selected (by me, or at the forum dice, taking suggestions from you, fellow playgrounders,) or it could be in order, we'll see if this gets crowded enough. Remember that this isn't a competition, it is just a little game, so don't try to convince others to change their choices as they have their favorite monsters as you have yours. I'm not planning to show every nickname, so I want to order it from books/sources where they are found, also I will make a top 5 if we reach enough votes.
This week type/subtype is:
Outsider Type!
http://www.kotll.com/srd3.5/img/MonstersD-De.Pit_Fiend.jpg
My vote: Outsiders are a vast, holy crayonish type, with a very large array of monsters of all kinds. I'll throw a vote for Bocoob, the Uncaring (being an outsider, it counts), Djinni, and the Succubus. I don't know, Boccob is just like an amazing concept (even while Dei&Dem's gods are underpowered) because of the "Meh" or the "Meh, I don't give a Crayon" thingy. The Genies are just a lovely concept, I just like the Djinni more than every other, and the Succubus is... Yummy? I like the concept too. Never been against one or used one (as a DM) but I'm still waiting to do so.)

The date to finish the count will be Monday, September 15th; from that point on, no vote will be added to the popularity table, but feel free to keep commenting your favorites.
The sources you can use to pick your favorite are on the list below, also if you have more than one favorite, don't hesitate to show it to us! No creature whose entry wasn't originally of the selected type is allowed (for example: if the week's monster type is: Dragon, no Dragonwrought Kobold is available, just creatures with the Dragon type as their base creature are allowed, in this case; DW Kobold got it fom a feat.) At the same time, no creatures that obtained their subtype are allowed to be chosen (for example, Dragonblood subtype week, no dragonborn human is allowed, because human wasn't originally intended to have dragonblood subtype, but its subtype is "dragonblood" because of the Dragonborn template; however Silverbrow human is allowed because its original subtype IS dragonblood.) Also, when a creature is based on a template (such as the Lich, the Vampire, or the Zombie) the template is allowed to be selected as your vote; however, you cannot specify a creature with its own entry adding an alien template. TL;DR: You can select the Skeleton Creature as your favorite Undead, but not a T-Rex Skeleton (using two creatures.)
