[QUOTE="13garth13, post: 6385592, member: 16979"] [b]Alien has already been mentioned...[/b] ....and don't tell me that you wouldn't try to stomp that sweet little xenomorph baby as soon as it exploded from your mate's torso! Worse yet, you let that cute lil' thing live and pretty soon it is eating everything that moves. But for wyrmlings....ah, cast your minds back to the early 80s and a wonderfully dark (metaphorically and literally....I don't think I saw blue, sunny sky in the entire movie, although it was over 30 years ago, so I could be mis-remembering) PG-rated "kids" move called Dragonslayer. Remember what happens to the princess and what the little baby dragons are doing to her when the hero finally arrives on the scene to rescue her? Bottom line, I understand why the topic of monstrous infanticide is a touchy one, but it's hardly one that hasn't ever seen the light of day in film and fiction and I certainly don't see why it should automatically be off limits in a D&D game. Some things are just rotten little terrors waiting to grow up into malevolent flesh-eaters that will destroy/devour everyone you care about. Better kill 'em while they're still easy to defeat :]:p:] Cheers, Colin [/QUOTE]
