Hi all!
I'm looking for ideas for a module I'm working on. I need some ideas for Misfit Monsters, like the Island of Misfit Toys. To give you an idea of what I'm looking for, here are some ideas I have so far:
- World's largest hafling (just a regular guy)
- A blind beholder
- A calzone golem (I stole this)
- A were-bunny
- An extremely ugly nymph
- A harpy/siren with a terrible voice
- A tiny titan
- A reverse mermaid/centaur (bottom half human legs, top half fish/horse)
Any input is appreciated!

A minocentaur! Half minotaur, half centaur. That is, a random horse with a bull's head.
A carrion crawler with ingrown tentacles.
A colorblind mimic who turns into garishly colored chairs and can never figure out why people catch on.
A bonsai treant.
A germophobic otyugh.
A cyclops pirate. Yes, with an eyepatch.

"This, here, is our Adamantine Horror. It's a CR 9 construct that has a +5 vs magic weapons Razorblade and it has implosion, disintegration, and disjunction as at-will spell-like abilities."
"So, it's just an Adamantine Horror?"
"Precisely."
"Then, what's it doing on this island of monsters that nobody wants?"
"I reiterate: CR 9 at-will Disjunction."

I've always thought about a half-minotaur, half-mermaid, where the poor creature has the top half of a mermaid and the bottom half of a minotaur.
So, in other words, they look human.
