Monsters based on logical fallacies

[RangerWickett]

Can you help me brainstorm monsters that are based on logical fallacies?

For instance, a demon straw man who magically pins a person to a tree or wall so they're vulnerable, they eviscerates them.

A 'gambler's fallacy' demon would give you a penalty to your rolls if you have a high roll. Or maybe it 'enforces fairness' in a statistically unreasonable way. If you hit last round, you will DEFINITELY miss next round. (Of course, if you missed last round, the demon doesn't help you hit this round.)

Argument from Incredulity - I don't believe you could have hit me, so that last attack clearly must have missed.

You could have a slippery slope demon that forces characters to make balance checks or descend to a worse and worse position.

The two wrongs don't make a right demon could deal damage every time it misses twice.

The argumentum verbosium just talks you to death.

The holier than thou demon emulates the abilities of angels.

I have a feeling like there's a good false dichotomy demon but I'm not sure what choices it would force the players into.

The ad hominem is a doppleganger that ruins a character's reputation, until he has nowhere left to turn and becomes easy prey...

Of course, the Godwin would be the most powerful.

 

[Ichneumon]

A sphinx which gives the PCs an answer, then pleads for the riddle. In other words, it begs the question.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Anchor golem ... causes opponents nearby to focus on it.

Correlation-not-causatrix ... opponents take damage when this spellcaster is around, but the damage does not result from her spells.

I'll take Monsters & Fallacies for 400, Alex.

Yeah, but if the GM uses a Godwin, he admits the players has him beat, and he loses the adventure.

Oh, oh, oh!

An Argumentum ad Lapidem demon!

He can have an at-will reaction power that, whenever he attacks, allows any creature within 1 square of him to kick him in the junk as hard as possible.

"Your attacks are weak, Wikipedia says so-- OOF! ...Impossible! Your stance is-- OOF!"

TRIPLE ENTENDRE FOR THE WIN!
