[QUOTE="Doug McCrae, post: 5202895, member: 21169"] A while back I made a table for generating D&D monsters. It would work quite well if combined with your list above as most of mine are templates or features rather than base creatures. 54 is not a very good number for a table so it still needs some work. 1. Gelatinous 2. Amorphous 3. Mist 4. Invisible 5. Zombie 6. Ghost 7. Vampire 8. Skeletal 9. Mummified 10. Dire 11. Winged – bat, bird 12. Mer- 13. Chitterling ie lower half of body is a snake 14. Tauric (ie centaur-like) 15. Head of a bird of prey (Dharzi, Owl Bear, Gryphon) 16. Giant --- 17. Tiny --- 18. Fire-breathing 19. Flaming (Nightmare) 20. Human head/face (Lamia, Manticore, Sphinx) 21. Humanoid body (Minotaur) 22. Golem ie made of metal/clay/stone/wood/bone etc. 23. Multiple heads 24. Many legs (ER Burroughs Martian style) 25. Many arms 26. One eye 27. Many eyes 28. Many mouths 29. Mounted 30. Horned 31. Spikes 32. Spines/quills 33. Prehensile tail 34. Fangs 35. Venomous – bite, stinger, spines, spittle, breath 36.
