[Ing]

What kind of horrible beast lives inside you!?
Here's the deal i started a thread for folks to share their homebrewed death dealing monsters but it soon degraded into a game where i make up a monster based on those who posted on the thread (such classics as Spring Healed Jack, and the great Illsbane creature...and tribbles...yay tribbles). so here's the deal. put a post with some stuff you think you'd want me to know and i'll write it up. prepare to delight as your players learn to curse the name of ING. others feel free to join along in the game

[Beleriphon]

Well lets start with my name Beleriphon. Hard when one consider's my namesake was a hero of Hellenic prose. He killed the chimera, so there you go. Um the monster/creature should have a spear. Thats all I can think of beyond the fact that it has to be orange.

Edit:

Oh, or a dire chinchilla. I'd love to own a dire chinchilla. He would be the size of s german sheperd, and so soft.

How about a Ghoul? Or a ghūl?

But they already exist, right?

The creature of that name in MM1 bears very little relation to the creature of legend.

ghoul

Arabic Ghūl, in popular legend, demonic being believed to inhabit burial grounds and other deserted places. In ancient Arabic folklore, ghūls belonged to a diabolic class of jinn (spirits) and were said to be the offspring of ghūls, the Muslim prince of darkness. They were capable of constantly changing form, but their presence was always recognizable by their unalterable sign: ass's hooves.

Considered female by the ancients, the Ghūl was often confused with the sílā, also female; the sílā, however, was a witchlike species of jinn, immutable in shape. A ghūl stalked the desert, often in the guise of an attractive woman, trying to distract travelers, and, when successful, killed and ate them. The sole defense that one had against a ghūl was to strike it dead in one blow; a second blow would only bring it back to life again.

The ghūl, as a vivid figure in the Bedouin imagination, appeared in pre-Islāmic Arabic poetry, notably that of Ta'abbata Sharran. In North Africa, it was easily assimilated into an ancient Berber folklore already rich in demons and fantastic creatures. Modern Arabs use ghūl to designate a human or demonic cannibal and frequently employ the word to frighten disobedient children.

Anglicized as “ghoul,” the word entered English tradition and was further identified as a grave-robbing creature that feeds on dead bodies and on children. In the West ghouls have no specific image and have been described (by Edgar Allan Poe) as “neither man nor woman . . . neither brute nor human.” They are thought to assume disguises, to ride on dogs and hares, and to set fires at night to lure travelers away from the main roads.

[Beleriphon]

I like that its pretty cool. Extraplanar big gamer hunters. Now I just need that dire chinchilla. ;D

[julian]

Something wrong with text, it should read ghul with a line above the u, and sila, with a line above the a.

Cut and paste has it's pit traps.

[Ing]

not a name sake, and a bit like a succubis but i think i can work with an idea like that. yes, we can do tune ups of pre-owned monsters as well. I'll give you my estimite soon.

i think the MM ghouls are based more on HP Lovecraft's as depicted in Pickman's Model and other stories

the Sila is a horrific abomination, a twisted bieng left over from the fires of creation. possibly the remains of some time before or some primal creature hidden since ancient times or perhaps some invader from the outer planes. Silas often appear as buetiful woman or men stranded in the desert and seeking help. those that aid them are often captivated by their buety and charms, however it is all a guise. the Sila emmits some sort of hypnotic sonic vibrations, that give a sophisticated mental illusion. because of this physical ability the Sila's disguise cannot be deduced through true sight or other purely magical means. The Sila's true form is that of a twisted insectoid, a sort of hunched spindly skeletal figure draped in skin made otu of many squirming maggots and black tar like mucus. the Sila's true form is never reveled untill it is too late, they snatch their pray and either skin and eat their insides (leaving the hallow skin as suvineers or perhaps as to form egg sacs), or drill through their skull and eat their brain, turning them into a mindless servent. these servents help the Sila in their schemes to find new victims, if they fail to find food after a given time the servents also act as a backup food source.

bite: on a bite attack the Sila can attempt to peirce teh back of the creature's neck with a neddle projection of its mouth, peircing the lower lobe of the brain and injecting a nero poison that breaks down gray matter. the pioson does an initial 2d4 int drain and a sucessive 1d4 every hour. if reduced to 0 int, the creature dies and is raised as a mindless slave to the Sila. slaves produced the same hypnotic effect as their masters, diguising themselves as normal people to hide the effects of deteroration and decay on their bodies. once enslaved they share the Sila's intelligence and maintain a mental link to it, and are able to perfeclty mimic their previous selves, save for the possible drop or increase in intelligence. poison has a fort save of 27

illusion viel: the Sila emmits some sort of hypnotic sonic vibrations, that give a sophisticated mental illusion. because of this physical ability the Sila's disguise cannot be deduced through true sight or other purely magical means. it can choose to appear in any humanoid form it desires, or once per day can create an effect like improved invisability as cast by a 8th level caster. a silence spell nuetralizes teh Sila's illusion, though a deafen spell will not (the waves act by directly stimulating the brain, and need not be actually heard). will save of 30 reveals the Sila's true form.

, spell like abilities: at will, preidigitation, repose body, death kneel. 5 times per day, create undead, ghoul touch, vampire touch, web,

, distraction: the inaudable noise caused by the Sila's illusion effect, creats a subconscious distraction nd cna be detected with an listen 30 check, all others even if they don't hear them must make a concentration 13, to cast spells

improved grab: on a successful 2 claw attacks target becomes grapled
, uncanny dodge,
evasion,
sneak attack: 2d6
repulsion: its true form reveals the horrible form, all who see them must make a fort save of (20) or be sickened and nausiated.


ok there's your reformed ghoul.

[Hungerdog]

Ok, do a "Hungerdog"...

[Orion-the-G]

Well to hit you up with another mythological one. Go for "Orion" (the G bit is just for an initial)

[Mephibosheth]

I'd love to hear what you do with "Mephibosheth."

Just for reference, since few people are familiar with the story:

Then David said, "Is there yet anyone left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" And he said, "I am your servant."
The king said, "Is there not yet anyone of the house of Saul to whom I may show the kindness of God?" And Ziba said to the king, "There is still a son of Jonathan who is crippled in both feet."
So the king said to him, "Where is he?" And Ziba said to the king, "Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel in Lo-debar."
Then King David sent and brought him from the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.
Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and prostrated himself. And David said, "Mephibosheth." And he said, "Here is your servant!"
David said to him, "Do not fear, for I will surely show kindness to you for the sake of your father Jonathan, and will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul; and you shall eat at my table regularly."
Again he prostrated himself and said, "What is your servant, that you should regard a dead dog like me?"
Then the king called Saul's servant Ziba and said to him, "All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master's grandson.
"You and your sons and your servants shall cultivate the land for him, and you shall bring in the produce so that your master's grandson may have food; nevertheless Mephibosheth your master's grandson shall eat at my table regularly." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
Then Ziba said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king commands his servant so your servant will do." So Mephibosheth ate at David's table as one of the king's sons.
Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. And all who lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.
So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he ate at the king's table regularly. Now he was lame in both feet.

the hungerdog is a horrid beast of pure hunger and venom, created by foul feindish magic by a demon prince. the prince concluded that he was unable to overpower his enemies or conquer the matieral plane, deciding that the next best thing would be to ensure that no one would rule, he created the hunger dog. He was overjoyed with the success of his creation, even as it promplty consumed him and his entire court. the hungerdog never stops eating, it cnsumes everyhthing, animate and un, charging foward s a horrible juggernaut. a gigantic wolven hound with 5 vicious heads, a mane made out of slithering snakes, and skin made out of squirming maggots, the hunger dog is a sight that brings fear into the hearts of men and causes armies to disband and defect.

improved grab, on a succesful bite or 3 succesful serpent bites, Hungerdog cathes the opponent in n automatic grapple

rend: durring a graple from one of the 5 heards, each round bite damage is done to held creature as long as grapple is held

, breath, 2 breath attacks, 1 a cone of acid that deals 8d6 damage initial and 4d6 each round for 2d4 rounds, cone of 50 by 100 feet, the other is a great whirlwind that can either project, acting as a whirlwind spell, or suck in drawing all who fail a reflex of 25 into its threat square. range is 50 by 100. DC is 25 for each


fast healing: 10/no recovery from holy damage,

damage reduction: 20/ +5 weapontry, or holy/blessed weapons

devour: if a hungerdog reduced an opponent to 0 or lower hit points it snatches it into its jaws and swallows it whole, digesting them and destroying their body. for each L creature it digests it gains +20 hp, each M 10, each Small 5, each T 2, etc.

swallow whole: deals 8d6 half blugeon half acid. 50 pts of damage to escape

undead spawn: any corpse that is not compleatly devoured by a Hungerdog raises in 6d10 minutes as a famine spirit that follows the Hungerdog

[tape_measure]

I'd ask for a tapemeasure.....

[Ishbosheth]

If you can do a Mephibosheth, try an Ishbosheth.

[HempRope]

Something wrong with text, it should read ghul with a line above the u, and sila, with a line above the a.

Cut and paste has it's pit traps.

Can you spell that out out, though, in Arabic? As in, Alif, Baa, Taa...?
I've heard of these, but never really learned much about North African mythology.

[Leperflesh]

WOOT!

Look at me, I'm a freakin' mobile Armageddon!

Yeah, baby!

8)

With infinite hitpoints, no less. (It gains hit points whenever it eats... no duration listed on those, nor does it call them temporary hit points or damage recovery...)

-Lep

-edit-
Oh, yeah... didn't mean to only complain. Heh.

Do me! Do me!

[Ing]

yah its an inflatable monster, it started out at 5 hit points, then was inflated as its master fed it some demons, then it ate its master...then things kinda snow balled. Like to see how this thing would do agianst another armageton unstopable monster, who shale remain namelsss...

[Lost_Scholar]

Curious to see what you come up with for me Ing.

[Gralamin]

Read the Sword of Truth books series by Terry Goodkind (or wiki it), I'm a wizard of the first Order.

by which I mean DO ME!

[CharPixie]

A char pixie; a cinder smeared fairy creature, who lives in ashes and travels by moved from chared ashes to chared ashes. (Ash Jump?)

[Pedantic]

Herald of I was an attempt at wordplay, as one does not generall herald one's self.

If you can make a creature that announces it's own prescence in a way subservient to itself, then you are far more creative than me. ;)

[Nerd-o-rama]

*Requests*

And I understand that you have a backlog and it'll take a while.

[Yuki Akuma]

"Yuki Akuma" means "Snow Demon" in Japanese. So... an oriental style freezing cold demon thing, maybe?

[Luircin]

Luircin: A name I made up while I was bored during class. Eventually it turned into a personal name for a nature guardian, albeit one that lives in fresh water. A medium-sized water elemental-esque thing that looks vaguely like a blue dragon.

[InaVegt]

Do a humanflame (my younger brothers netname)

[Renloth]

I'm wondering what can be made for "Renloth".
