[Zeta Kai]

All votes are tallied so far. Keep it coming. I'll keep the Type/Subtype part open for a while longer, just to get a few definitive winners.

[MammonAzrael]

Aberration (Angel, Swarm)

[Zeta Kai]

Alright, the votes are completely tallied, & the winner is:
Aberration (Extraplanar, Shapechanger)!

So, the creature is going to be an Aberration, with the Extraplanar & Shapechanger subtypes. This sounds like it's going to be an interesting one. So next, I need you guys (& girls) to vote on the creature's Size. Votes will be tallied regularly. Please only vote for 1 size, thank you.

[Threeshades]

I vote Huge

Because you can still say it's biiiig but not cheesy

[Magnor Criol]

Going out on a limb with my train of thought here. If this thing's an shapechanger, it may well be able to take many forms, so whatever size we choose here will probably be its "base form," right? Also known as: whatever the PCs will fight as the final fight, if this guy makes it as a BBEG.

Ergo, it needs to be something appropriately epic. I vote Huge.

[Heliomance]

Colossal++

[Pronounceable]

Small. bah

[Jubal_Barca]

Fine. Definitely.

[KKL]

Huge, definately.

[Kellus]

Medium. Not too big, not too small.

[Adumbration]

Huge sounds good to me.

[vegetalss4]

i will join the Huge team

[CrazyMacGuy]

I vote Huge... if Zeta Kai can't do it, no one can... :-D

[Carrion_Humanoid]

I vote. . . small!
