Message: <blockquote data-quote="BOZ" data-source="post: 464512" data-attributes="member: 1241">ok, time for monster #3.  you should all know how this works now, unless you missed the first two.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  this third monster will be an Huge Aberration with 8-10 HD, of Chaotic Neutral alignment.so, you will describe your idea of what the monster should be, in one or two sentences or otherwise in 40 words or less (please!). i will choose the best 10 (or so), in my opinion, and make another poll out of them (the runners up will be the "Other" option). let me explain how you will do this.sorry if this sounds retread, but it does need to be repeated.  this sentence will be the "concept" for the monster. it's best not to be too detail oriented, as we will detail it as a group. one sentence saying "this thing does this and has this kind of power" is enough. (hey, it worked for monster #2!  look what we came up with from the barest of bones!)  feel free, if you will, to modify and re-use an idea of yours from monster #1 or 2.IMPORTANT: Do not name your monster! this will happen later, i promise. common examples of aberrations include beholders, mind flayers, aboleths, nagas, ettercaps, mimics, otyughs, and will o' wisps, but "aberration" is such a broad category that it even includes weird things such as flumphs, tiraphegs, denzelians, envelopers, adherers (and half of the original fiend folio, i bet!), executioner's hoods, lurkers, vilstraks, and wolves-in-sheep's-clothing.  basically, take any idea you have, and make it weird!Some good examples of monster ideas would include the following: "Will-o'-wisps are evil creatures that feed on the powerful emotions associate with panic, horror, and death... A will-o'-wisp is a globe of semisolid vapor about 1 foot across and weighing about three pounds... When they are forced to fight, they loose small electrical shocks, which act as normal melee attacks. (9 HD)" or"Mind flayers... are so insidious that all denizens of the dark fear them... It's mouth, a revolting thing like a lamprey's maw, constantly drips an oily slime when it is not siphoning out the brains of living prey. (8 HD)"also, make sure to state how many Hit Dice (8, 9, or 10) you think would be appropriate for this monster.get it? got it? goooood! so, when you've got a good one (and please, only one submission per person, unless you're really good and sneaky) you can post it here if you want others to see and comment on it, or just e-mail it to <a href="mailto:kbozman74@yahoo.com">kbozman74@yahoo.com</a> . if i use your concept, i will make sure to credit you when/if the monster gets posted on the Creature Catalog site, or used in some future product or whatnot.</blockquote>
