Tell me of the coolest feature of some monster...

[demiurge1138]

H.P. Lovecraft's nightgaunts. They have no faces, just a suggestive blankness where a face should be. And they don't really fight people, they just carry them from Where Man Was Not Meant To Go to Where Man Probably Won't Survive Going.

Demiurge out.

Also, rakshasas. I love the backwards hands. It's so odd.

Teleportation @will

Those Demons seem to appear out of nothing.
And can flee when the fight goes awry.

I have a Rakshasa in human form as a BBEG in my campaign. The party had dinner with him and when the party bard finished his great performance, I let the Rakshasa (in human form) clap with the back of hands.

The party just though he was not impressed by the performance, they still think he is a human

Babylon 5 and Perdido Street Station. Both ones I'd have bought up. Damn. Just realised I might be a geek.

I always liked an idea from Deadlands. Counting coup, IIRC. Basically when you kill certain creatures there's a chance you get some power relating to them. Of course, using these powers usually carries a cost. One I got was from fighting a sand demon - my character would heal rapidly when immersed in sand, but the scars looked strange. Rather minor one, but you get the idea.

The Horrors in Earthdawn live off strong emotions, often fear or hate. Their whole existance is devoted to instill these emotions in their victims and feeding off them. They can place an invisible mark on their victims and thereby connect their aura to their own and through this connection they can manipulate them from any distance. Such victims are often completely at the Horror's mercy. As highly magical beings, living in the astral plane, the Horrors can only enter our world, if there is enough magic in the world, if the magic level is beyond a certain threshold. The more powerful they are the more magic is needed for them to gate over to the real world.

Plenty cool features there... just pick one.
