[QUOTE="Noumenon, post: 4740680, member: 70102"] katemare -- I said I wasn't excited by the first monster in this thread, but I am actually going to use it! I'm prepping an adventure based on Improved Reduce Person to reduce the PCs' size to Tiny (Goodman Games' "The Dragonfiend Pact"). With the PCs so small they could jump on a lilypad, I remembered the first monster you posted in this thread and came to nab it. So while the underlying monster wasn't that exciting*, your presentation did make it [i]memorable[/i]. *I may or may not be trying to prompt you into making more encounter suggestions like you did with the white dragon. Edit: the following is a misapprehension that I'm leaving in just to show you how it was possible not to "get" a monster you showed before you had the "encounters and tactics" sections. [COLOR="Green"]I really don't see this monster working against a normal, not-Tiny-sized party though -- how is something that size gonna drag you underwater?
