Which creature you would like to see undergo a monster makeover? RESULTS ARE UP

[Sejs]

Also, the normal animal "ape" needs to be fixed. I've looked at gorillas at the zoo. Yes, they are heavy, but they aren't 8 feet tall, don't occupy a 10 foot square, and don't have 10 foot reach besides.

Or claws.

 

[Razz]

Bah, no no no. What we all need fixed is the KLURICHIR! I've been waiting for ages for them to fix that creature up. It's entire write-up is screwy, I say fix what's broken first, not what needs no fixing other than some flavorful text.

I went for the wyvern, if only because it's nastier than its CR suggests.

Personally, I'd like it if he went for a rust monster that didn't play like it came from Diablo. I understand its need for rejigging, but ...

 

[ThirdWizard]

How can anyone like the hydra as it stands now? It could very well be the worst designed monster in the MM. It needs a redesign.

Well, for one thing, they're not gorillas. They "resemble gorillas but are far more aggressive". What really needs to be done is to make stats for gorillas and to unambiguously call this creature in the MM "carnivorous ape", like in the old days.

Demiurge out.

Totally agree with the above. I'd go one step further and give all of ape and monkey-kind a makeover. Monkeys in particular. They need more lasers. Giant squids need more lasers too. Come on mearls, get down with your bad ape!

Yes he can. Fortunatly, however, Whizbang is a traditionalist - he'll be hunting you down on foot, and his only weapon will be a spear that he makes himself.

So it might take a while before any actual hunting down and/or killing really starts to manifest itself. You've got time, no worries.

Yes, but once I've caught him ...

 

[crazy_cat]

..blah blah blah...Monkeys..blah blah need more lasers. Giant squids need more lasers too.......!

Lasers, and class levels, don't forget the class levels - preferrably in Ninja, or Pirate.

Or both. In fact definitely in both. Lots of class levels. And lasers.

Tooses in vote for the Rakshasa.

I want all fey to get a makeover. They lack a special magic and attention they deserve. The type even is so blade that the paper its printed on has more flavor.
