i am thinking flexible, armored monster. one that can take a hit and deliver it right back- but dexterous enough to avoid hits as well.
instincts for survival are a must.
What I am thinking about is the Deinonychus (a larger version of the Velociraptor- dinosaur analogy) - does not have to look like it- but just the physical attributes.
leathery skin (natural armor)- maybe even shell-like armor in somea reas like forearm, shoulders and back
swift, intelligent, and agile. Doesnt need to be too strong, but strong enough to take down prey.
High organization skills (socially), cast spells, and has own primitive language.
ranged weapon- if cant cast spells, then give breath weapon, or sonic blast- or quill shot or something to attack from range.
Magical beast gives immunity to some lesser spells, or spell like abilities like darkness or light.

OK, now we’ve got our first monster idea, the tubeworm fellows. For those of you that missed it, here’s a description from the results of the recent poll: These are monstrous blind tubeworms that cling to coastal rocks and dwell in seaside caves. They fix their bodies to rocks and strike with six long necks to swallow opponents with snapping jaws, and dangle their long tentacles in water seeking prey.
I’ll urge you to go here and here to post your ideas in poll form, but I’d also like to see some ideas for other things here. Generate some ideas: what climate/terrain does this creature inhabit? It’s probably home in both underground and aquatic regions, but does it live anywhere else?
What sort of organizational patterns does it follow? I’d say they’re probably solitary, but there’s no reason they can’t travel in groups.
Does it keep treasure? If so, is it more or less than standard, or about right on?
I’ve figured it’s got to have blindsight, since it is blind although magical beasts usually have powerful visual senses. After looking at the two polls that go along with this part, what other powers would you think these things should need?
How about its combat styles? Is it stealthy and sneaky with its plans, or does it just enjoy going in and messing stuff up? Is it carnivorous or does it kill for fun? We do know that it has six heads (and six bites), and it also has x number of tentacles. I know you guys have fun with this one.
