Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rechan" data-source="post: 4554444" data-attributes="member: 54846">My list is enormous, namely because I consume anything with monsters in it. 1) Yaun-ti. They are just pure sexy, mechanically.2) Swarms (particularly the Needlefang swarm, and several homebrew I want to work on). Just to make the PCs squeal and see if they'll actually run away. 3) Bugbears, particularly the Elite Controller from the Bloodghost Syndicate article. Bugbears in my game are the fantasy equivalent of the Yautja, from the movie "Predator". 4) Gnolls. Partly for the story I have to work with, and partly because, dang, the monsters that have been put out for them are solid. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to have time to use these guys in my current campaign; it feels a bit crowded as is, with regards to humanoids. 5) Bulettes. The way Bulettes are handled in this edition is very nice. Very "Jaws" feeling. 6) Trolls, particularly the Cave Troll in one of the Dungeon adventures, and the Spectral trolls (Trollhaunt). 7) Lurkers. I love lurkers. Any lurker may do. Lurker lurker lurker! The Bugbear Strangler and the Choker (gotta love that immediate interrupt), the Doppelganger Assassin, the Stonewalker Spirit (Den of the Destroyer), the Assassin Imp (Codex of Betrayal 1) and I can't remember any more, but quite a few I favor.8) Hags. Howling, Bog and Briar (Trollhaunt), oh my! I particularly like hags. THey make intriguing villains, and have a bit of old world Witchery afoot. 9) Most of the solo monsters out there. Ketery's Hydra, Naarash ("Heathen" dungeon adventure), Thorn and The Keeper ("Den of the Destroyer"). 10) Plants, plants plants. Venus Fly Trap and Yellow Musk Creeper (The_Jester's conversion), Arboreans (Thunderspire), Demonthorn (Trollhaunt) Vine Lord (Keterys), and Dryads. 11) Sand dragons. They are nice looking. As are the Gray, for that matter. 12) The Snaremasters and Kidnappers (Den of the Destroyer). I don't know, they just feel appropriate. 13) Various homebrew/3rd party monsters. The Death Mother (One Bad Egg), various bugs (Goodman Games), Voidwalkers (Asmor), and so many things that The_Jester has made, too many to name.14) Kobolds. My favorite monster ever; my namesake even comes from a short-lived kobold character o-mine. I won't get the chance to use them in my current campaign.</blockquote>
