XP Levels Revealed!

(instead of the rubbery bit, make it a sort of skeletal snake with the skull as its head, and give it a hypnotic dance [all who view save vs. hypnosis] as well as its ordinary attacks...tons of the fun)

Actually, that's the necrophidius. Also from the FF.

I am not Gorilla Bear curious. I don't swing like that.

That would be a lemur bear. Gorilla bears don't brachiate.

I can't believe you remember the best monster ever! It was a big rubbery slug-thing that would dig a hole, pull a monster skull over the hole, and coil itself up like a spring to lay in wait. Prey would walk by and BOOM! SPRINGING SKULL OF DEATH!

Seriously, not lame at all. Especially not the picture.

I've always wanted to run one of these actually. Then again too, the 2e art was much better:

It always seemed like an interesting encounter for low-level parties.

I freely admit that the only one of these new monsters I've actually run is the almighty flumph.

Lemur Bear
Lemur Bear
Swings through trees
From here to there
They like salmon
Really nice!
But espresso is their vice
Look out!
Here comes a Lemur Bear!

Are they strong?
Listen bud-
They've got coffee
In their blood

Can he swing from a vine?
They swing around, oh, half the time
Hey, there
There goes the Lemur Bear

This got me thinking...other "combo monsters" I'd like to see:

Bullemur- Minotaur + Lemur
Flamingorilla- Flamingo + Gorilla...from the elemental plane of Fire!
Penguingolan- Penguin Vampire that strangles victims with herring entrails
Allip in Chains- Allip + Chain Demon



*sigh*

OK weem, I've just lobbed another 400 potential XP in your direction...

Looks like a freaky evolution of Cubone.

And for those who are curious...


The fabulous Gorilla Bear


No no, no need to thank me. I just wanted to share.

I prefer my picture of the Gorilla Bear.

Well, throw in one vote for this new _classic_ FF XP monster listing.

 

[Plane Sailing]

But what IS a stunjelly?

It's basically a gelatinous cube that looks like a wall. Usually stone. They paralyze you. And smell like vinegar.

Another one of mine, I'm afraid. Comes from the days when long dead-end corridors would always be searched for secret doors. An evolutionary adaption of the gelatinous cube.

Ummm, I think you meant "Lemutaur". I thought everyone knew that one.

Lemutaurs are the smallish ones with healthy appetites. Bullemurs..."have issues" with their weight, perceiving themselves as being much bigger than average Lemurtaurs.
