[QUOTE="pming, post: 8327303, member: 45197"] Hiya! Off the top of my head... Virtually any "irredeemably evil" creature. Demons, Devils, Daemons, Undead, Dao, Azer, most Giants, Quicklings, etc. Creatures that have been out right EVIL incarnate since they were first thought up by superstitious folks hundreds or thousands of years ago. Over the decades we've seen a sharp decline in the "Yup...it's undead...kill it" to "Yup...it's undead... but lets talk to it. It might be friendly...". There WERE exceptions, but they were not 'evil' to begin with (ex: Fiend Folio's "Crypt Thing"; they are Neutral). But now? "Oh, he's a Lich... but he's not evil", or "She's a Vampire... but she's a good vampire", etc. But, if we are talking "changes of looks and general stuff over the years/decades"... I think [B]Bugbears[/B] are up there. Originally they were tall hairy, thin creatures with Jack-o-Lantern heads! Then, just big, dark-hair critters with big yellow eyes. Then, big dark-hair critters with big eyes who were good at hiding in shadows. Now... multi-coloured semi-hairy critters with beady eyes and huge muscles. ... o_O ... ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
