[QUOTE="Feyfiendmonsterer, post: 8236415, member: 7029670"] I'd really like to ensure that things never ever on screen before (which must cover around 80% or more of D&D creations and lifted adaptions of creatures in world mythology, especially Greece, Europe and the Far East get straight on. Myconids, Destrachans, Cloakers, Bulettes, could feature in an Underdark bit, and also Duergar, Drow, Deep Gnomes and Morlocks; anything far from what's already recognisably a monster on screen the few times fantasy or horror films chuck up decent non-human beings. While above ground is better, mostly, for portraying all were-creatures that AREN'T Werewolves (what a thrill to come across a lycanthrope that's NOT a Werewolf on film or TV (!), I'd also not like a chance passed up to portray any amount of differing Undead types, as when you think about it, barely ANY of them have even been done properly or even at all. After all, the Hollywood idea of Zombies, has nothing to do with what a Zombie is. But when you look at all the types that D&D have wrung out of the Undead template, married to what FX can do now, aurely no time like the present! What would be good, surely, is if this show runs to a number of episodes, all of them could have a different setting: (1) Underdark (2) Forest (3) Hills (4) Marshland (5) Desert (6) Tropical Island taking in beach coves, Jungle & a mounting volcano (7) Tundra and Ice (8) On a sea's surface (9) Under the sea but able to breathe water safely for a limited time (10) Floating through a magical air-space through one portal after another. trying to find gravity. Then there would be a great mix of foes and even friendly creatures, a number of whom specific to just one type of environment, but others can live in many. [/QUOTE]
