In the spirit of March Movie Monster Madness, I bring you Monsters of Rock.

No, I'm not talking about earth elemental or galeb duhrs. I'm talking rock n' roll. It's simple-- take a band, a song, or even CD cover art, and turn it into a creature. It doesn't even have to be a band you like, just as long as it gives you an idea that would make a worthy D&D monster.

I've been meaning to do this for awhile now, but never really found the time. The recent threads about song lyrics as inspiration for adventures and character names have reminded me to get this going.

This can be a competition, but doesn't have to be. Don't limit yourself to one entry...the more the merrier.

Check out my first one over in Homebrews...Allister Fiend, Motley Crue's mascot. :cool:

BOZ, I think you need to create Metallica. ;)

I wonder if we could get Scott back here to create Eddie from Iron Maiden. I seem to recall him talking about doing that long ago, but I'm not sure if he ever did.

The Dark Avenger (from the Manowar song of the same name). I think now he'd be a fallen Paladin/Blackguard with the Death Knight template. And don't forget Fleetwood Mac's "The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown)" (covered by Judas Priest). Priest's "Hellion" would be good, too, as would "Children of the Sea", by Black Sabbath.
The list could go on and on and on....................

What about the Shiny Demon from Tenacious D's 'Tribute'?

Or this ghoulish... 'thing'... from the Aphex Twin's 'Come To Daddy' video?

And, while technically, it's not rock, I've always considered the human-faced monkeys in the video to Basement Jaxx's 'Where's Your Head At?' to be quite horrifying.

Yeah, the "D" deserves a tribute. Explosivo!

Iron Man would definitely be cool. He's got a helluva backstory. :)
