[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8389551, member: 7023887"] Hmmm. . . This game could be fun. Here's what I've got: Amphithere - Couatl (or at least a variant type of one that looks more like a dragon instead of a snake) I could see an anthropomorphic animal race (such as Leonins, Lizardfolk, or awakened Girallons) calling humans "Glabrous Apes" A Mesmeric Beetle as a distant relative of the Flail Snail (with the Scintillating Shell as an Exoskeleton) Catobleghasts are obviously just Ghast versions of Catoblepases (Katoblepones?) A Colorless Dragon is just a Chromatic Dragon that was bathed in bleach (possibly doing Force Damage with its breath weapon). Stone Eagle is just a mistranslation/miscommunication for the name "Roc". Face of Rays is another name for a Beholder A Giant Giant is what you call a Goliath that takes levels in Rune Knight Gigantopithecus is just a Giant Ape The [B]GOAT OF CHAOS[/B] is just the childhood playmate of [URL='https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Kezef']Kezef the Chaos Hound[/URL] (Or, alternatively, the name for the 3rd Form of the goat figurines of wondrous power.) A Giant Kobold is just what you call a Dragonborn (one with a tail, that is). A Lady of the Oaks is just a Dryad (possibly cousins with the Lady of the Lake). A Lumbering Calamity is what you call an [I]Adventuring Party[/I] Mermaster is what you call a Magic: the Gathering player that focuses on Merfolk decks (or, rather, [I]what the call themselves[/I]). A Double Ogre is what a bard likes to call an Ettin when using Vicious Mockery (who then proceeds to double over in laughter). An Orc-Bat is what is depicted in [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/orc-red-fang-of-shargaas']this image from Volo's Guide to Monsters[/URL]. A Rust Man is what any Warforged Adventurer becomes after having an unfortunate encounter with a Rust Monster. A Shrinker is just a Duergar Mind Master (due to their psychic powers letting them become Tiny instead of Large). An Ancient Troll is the Alter-Ego for the first bard to ever join an internet forum. (Summoning [USER=7023840]@Snarf Zagyg[/USER].) [URL='https://media.dndbeyond.com/compendium-images/moot/ds6d2NLXmv1wnY8q/06-36.png']This is the Ultrakraken[/URL]. And a Zombie Wizard is a Reborn Wizard (extra points if it's a Necromancer). [/QUOTE]
