D&D General Which video game monster have you used in your game?

[Shades of Eternity]

found a book on the dms guild so curious to see what grabbed your fancy enough to put it in your dnd game.

A Shining Force enemy, the Armed Skeleton, inspired a similar monster in my 2e games (the "necromech").

I have used monsters adapted from Bloodborne, Dark souls, Pokemon, Monster Hunter, Mass Effect and Dead Space.

I have also made dragons that fight a bit more in the style of Dragon Age inquisition's dragons such as setting up guards that have to be broken to knock their hp down, elemental mines that go off if a creature enters the radius or if they don't level the radius by the end of their turn depending on the dragon, a separate set of actions they can take when they are flying in the air on a turn called a fly-by barrage that they then have to land after completing., and being able to summon dragonlings to help fight among a few other things.

I once ran a campaign set in the Legend of Zelda world. Also there was some multiverse shenanigans that caused monsters from other games to show up including the God Emperor of Man, Reapers (Mass Effect), and GladOS.

I played in an XCOM/Shadowrun campaign that had sectoids, mutons, vipers, etc.

 

[Mecheon]

I found an entire of Monster Hunter inspired creatures and just regularly use them with new names.

I've also intended to drag Seekers from Ark into things once or twice, good ol' light-eating bat-squids they are and all, but haven't really had the chance

I've used all sorts of creatures inspired by video games, but I've directly lifted maps from Icewind Dale, and the players fought Icasaracht.
