This thread is inspired by prior threads that we've done - and it's finally time to do 5e Monstrosities, Part 1!
That's right; it’s time to get yer Monster Mash on and pick your favorite. But these things were much too bulky to take in one bite, so this is Part 1 – Monstrosities (A-G).
IMPORTANT NOTE- DOWNVOTES ARE WORTH 2 IN THIS THREAD.
Each Monstrosity starts with 20 points and you vote for one monstrosity you like which gains 1 point and against one monstrosity you dislike which loses 2 points. It is intentional that a negative vote is worth more than a positive vote - first, because it takes something extra to whittle these guys down to size. Second, because.
Upvotes are in green, downvotes are in red (unless you are on your phone, and are unable to). Copy and paste the previous poster’s vote and change the numbers. You may vote once per day. This is an honor system, and we are all honorable gamers; please do not abuse it. If this means you vote once at night one day, and once the next morning - that's fine, but don't vote again until the following day.
This is purely a popularity contest and you do not have to explain an upvote or downvote, but feel free to - explanations are where the fun is! When downvotes reach 0 the giant collapses under the weight of its own physiologically impossible bulk (FATALITY!). Finally, if a monstrosity has one vote left, then you have to make the choice to use all of your downvotes to eliminate it; there is no vote splitting. In addition, you can't upvote and downvote the same giant (no "see" votes). And you have to use BOTH YOUR UPVOTE AND DOWNVOTE if you vote.
Two important points that you must read before voting-
1. This is a pure popularity contest, and is meant to be fun. You can cast your votes for whatever reason you want. Spite, irrational love/hate, huge creature envy, gameplay mechanics, strategic voting, and so on is perfectly acceptable. Are you voting against the Bulette because you think that it has too many Ts? Are you upvoting the Displacer Beast because you really love the cloaks you can make out of it? Are you confused because you thought a Centaur was the insecure friend who is always asking what the cool kids are doing? It's all good! This vote does not affect anything in real life, and no monstrosity will lose it's special place in your heart because of your vote. You can comment for the reasons for your vote, or not - up to you! But this is for enjoyment only.
HA HA! Who am I kidding? We haven’t had a good cataclysm in a while and a Cockatrice is just what we need to incite one!
2. This is a list of monsters classified as Monstrosities in 5e. The list includes the main official sources (MM, VGtM, MToF).
3. As always, the list is the list. If you have a complaint about the list, please direct it to /dev/null.
