So what Huge Miniatures would you like to see in the next Huge set?

[Kunimatyu]

Maybe this has been covered, but why was Aboleth left off the list? It's core, gets used a fair bit in adventures, has as much of Lords of Madness dedicated to it as mindflayers and beholders, and, I dunno, is totally awesome.

It can't be that it's aquatic, because the Dire Shark is on the list, and that doesn't even have a land speed like the aboleth.

It has been covered.

It has been covered.

Yeah...after I posted I scrolled back and realized this was an old thread, one that I had already commented on the lack of an aboleth.

Ah well, it's certainly worth repeating. Aboleth, hydra, and to a lesser extent remorhaz are the huges I want. Nalfeshnee would be nice, but it's so dang ugly I'm not sure I want to see it on the table.

Psionic dragons are pretty far out there as a concept, and second, they haven't been converted to 3.5 in that great of a fashion. Plus, they suffer from 'more dragon' syndrome -- with the TEN core dragons, the things-that-aren't-quite-dragons like wyverns, and the Forgotten Realms Dragons(shadow, deep, fang), we're pretty dragoned out, and it's not like a Green Dragon can't be a perfectly servicable Emerald Dragon proxy.

An aboleth, hydra, or remorhaz? Those are a bit harder to proxy.

I want the Mystaran gem dragons.

Ruby with heatbreath that melts your gear.
Saphire with a bolt breath that cause you and not your gear to turn gaseous.
Crystal who's Icy breath makes alll your gear have hardness 1.
Emerald with a breath that inflicts a rotting disease.
Onyx that causes Darkness.

I want an ultra giant collossal (half-fiend) stirge...

Heck I would settle for more regular stirges since they are exceedingly rare.

Frank,

Didn't know Mystaran dragons were that different...

Kun,

Yeah but still, if I want a Topaz or a Crystal Dragon, do I have to settle for a Large Ice Elemental then?

 

[Dykstrav]

I think huge packs will always have a dragon or two, there's just too much of a gap between huge packs not to do it. Witness the aspects in War of the Dragon Queen...

Me, I wanna see the huge green dragon and either the huge bronze or brass.

I'm really jonesing for the nalfeshnee demon. This would make the collection of the "classic six" demons complete: Vrock, Hezrou, Glabrezu, Nalfeshnee, Marilith, and Balor.

You'll see a Gem Dragon in the normal DDM line at some point, I think. What you won't see is a Gem Dragon in the Huge sets. Given how few huges exist in proportion to the nonhuges, space is too valuable for a niche figure that's not part of a major WotC theme.
