We got the wonderful, long-running dreamboats threads, and they're a fantastic resource for regular old games.

But what if your game strays far from the mundane? Aren't you all tired of those shaggy, unkempt humans infesting every corner of the world? Of those lanky elves prancing about? Those mug-chugging bearded louts?

Don't you wish all those unusual creatures had a place to call home? A pla̗̤̮̤̝̝̣͛́ͮce where they would be accepted, w̮̼̺̞̫ͤ̅͑̀͑̓̚el̝̱̖̤̘͓̥̂̆comed. Fear not. S͓͈̘̋̿̒͑̀e͚̯͓̟̐ͧn̦̖͙̼̭̤̄d͚̦ͨ̔̎͋ theɯ ǝɹǝɥ. Because even monsters need some tendₑᵣt̹̣̱͍͚̙̟͓ͦ̀ͯ̒̆̓a̞̟̣̼̫̖̪͈̿ͬͧ͐̌̒c͇͓̈͐l̲͐͒ͧͮͥͤͧ ͍͇̯̞e̮͖͖̜̝̲͈ͤ͊̉̃ love and care.

Let me set the tone.

Well, I love these.

I'll try and find a few tomorrow to contribute.

They do seem to mostly be humanoids, though :p

I had a picture of a minotaur once that I was totally smitten by - but now he's gone. Can't find him. And he looked so angry too.

Since the dreamboats thread gets its fair share of requests, I'll post one here.

I'm working on a homebrew monster that looks like a "baby" android from the neck up, before descending into a mass of steel tentacles. Anyone got art of something that resembles this idea?

We have liftoff! Sure, technically they have a general humanoid shape, but it's the EXTRA bits we care about.

But here's a couple less humanoidy things:

It has a mouth at both ends... how does that thing's digestive tract even work?

Why does it have- oh, you don't know.

As for the digestive system, it works well until it reaches the second mouth. Ugh

Why does it need to be a mouth? Cant something have fangs on its butt? Why do you need to be so judgmental?

My own art. Not particularly well drawn.

An ekolid and a nycaloth

EDIT:
apparently my image host changed their address. That's inconvenient. I had to go back and fix all of these. Postimage is still leaps and bounds better than photobucket though

I imagine there;s a third opening in the back

These things are surprisingly creepy

That is what I always loved about Yugioh. It is a game about summoning demons and quasi-demons from the Shadow Realm. The protagonist's best servitor is a black wizard, and one of his most powerful monsters early on is a summoned skull (demon).

Have a classic

Steve the Mind Flayer prefers to be called an Illithid and both disapproves of your judgement of his diet and questions why you think he'd have any interest in your brain anyway. He has standards.

That kobold in the first post is 100% adorable and I would hug them even at the risk of shocks. Beyond that there's a lot of good stuff here (for me, that being most anything that doesn't look gory or dieased) and I approve of this thread.
