[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 492260, member: 1241"] well, geocorona, if you honestly came up with this idea on your own, then you're forgiven. ;) i can't harp on you; my living caltrops matched up with the jumping caltrops from song & silence. it's not hard at all to come up with an idea independantly from someone else, and find out you basically came up with the same thing. but knowing about this problem creates a challenge for us, in that we must now differeniate our creature from this established one. so: Advantages: Different type. The Reason Stealer (RS) is an ooze, but the “alien aberration” (AA) is just that. Intellect: The RS is as stupid as any ooze, however we’ve established that the AA is highly intelligent. Size: the RS is medium, the AA is huge. Disadvantages: Similarity. Basically, they’re both oozy-things that eat people and drain their life/aspect. It hunts underground – maybe the AA can hunt in forests too or something? We can probably work around this though, by making the AA more distinct. [/QUOTE]
