Converting monsters from the second edition Monstrous Compendiums

[BOZ]

hmm... if he's 8 feet tall, why did i decide to make him only medium?

 

[the Jester]

High end medium... (looks other way, whistles innocently)

I just wanted to suggest the dharculus next. It's my favorite monster of all.

Also, Boz, do you ever write up advanced versions with the basics? I was thinking, given the neh-thalggu (brain collector) in the ELH, it seems like maybe all we see in the original source is the baby dharculus.

I have to admit, I like the idea meself...

By the way, check out the neh-thalggu in MCA4 and compare it to the one in the ELH. Quite a difference.

 

[Shade]

High end medium... (looks other way, whistles innocently)

Actually, that is a reasonable answer.

Do we want to keep it Medium or bump it up to large?

The dharculus is an excellent suggestion, btw.

 

[BOZ]

hmm, far realm... never quite got that. well, i can always pull it out and see what happens.

are we done with this fellow here then?

 

[Shade]

Ship him off to the Blood War, he's ready.

 

[Krishnath]

He is definetly ready.

Shade: I suggest we keep it medium.

btw, what's a Dharculus?

 

[BOZ]

They’re like ethereal eels that can feed on material plane victims.

 

[Krishnath]

In other words, they're food for Etheral Dragons...

But more ethereal monsters are always nice to have.

 

[Shade]

Anything with ties to the Far Realm is fine with me (from a DM standpoint, that is.)

 

[BOZ]

ok, ok, i'll start that one up in a day or two. let's get to finishing up what we have going on already...
