Monster

[elscouta]

The devs want no \'classic\' monsters, especially no undead

[Natrina]

I guess that kills the slime...

[lynx_lupo]

How about a PS sirene(ehhh...those Greek singing witches) mutated counterpart.

Deadly Babbler:
Dificulty: hard
hostility: yes, but unnoticed until it\'s too late
Abilities: Babbles to infinity, stunning the targets abd killing them by the data flow eventually. -Like a long spell, the casting is long, but when it\'s completed Death comes.
Weakness: Deaf enemys , anything that silences or interupts him/her.
Treasure: random.

Not very common. Found in hidden caves. Is a hermity looking humanoid. ...starts to tell a tale or sth and then the babble \"shoots out\" engulfing everybody around.

Greetings and salutations i am new to the PS universe but have made myself very familiar with it through these forums i was reading your ideas for monsters and began to form some of my own but was wondering one thing: you say that the dev want new and creatvie monsters, so am i correct in assuming that they dont want rehashes of the standard skeleton, zombie, ghost, etc.

[lynx_lupo]

Yes.

Rock Beast

Grey colour (like rocks) large, red glowing, evil eyes, cracks in its body.

They use their hands to do a hammer fist attack.
Can cast sleep using their eyes. Hypnosics (cant spell)

Can be disguased as rocks, and fools who disturb them....beware....

The glowing eyes can be used for a spell, the rock can be sold or enchanted on a sword, they are super hard to kill

[Dark_Knite]

Name: Hermite

Detail:  Half Horse, Half Crab

Combat Style: Stomp and Use Crab Arm

[Fanomatic2000]

Name:  Odattym

Physical Apperance:  It has a natural camouflage that protects it from being detected by unwanted eyes.
Its four arms work totally independent on each other, and works mainly as extra legs which it uses to make its way through the caves it lives in.
They\'ve got eyes that are perfectly suited for complete darkness, but are very sensitive to any form of light.

Weapon: Mainly sharp objects like rocks.

Magic:  It\'s too primitive to use any form of magic.

Attack:  Backstab, Flurry (rapid hit), Grip (Makes you immobile), Rage (+strengh, +constitution), scream (when the creature dies it screams in such agony that the attacker has a 75% chance of being stunned for a while)

Nature: These creatures lives exclusively in caves and other dark places. They fear light since their eyes are built for total darkness, and flees when exposed for any form of lightsource.
Odattym live in groups of 5-12 individuals. They are said to take their energy entirely from the darkness, and therefore they have no need for food or water. When they attack its mostly to defend their territory, but as long as they doesnt feel threatened in any way, they prefer to observe and steal things from unguarded backpacks.

Loot: All kind of stuff they steal from uncautious  travelers, and junk they have found in their cave.

BTW. Sorry for the ugly sketch. It was 2.30 when I made it

Crystal Dragon (would come in one of the \"way\" colors)

physical appearance and other info: their bodies are partially transparent crystals. other than that they are in the form of a fierce and very large dragon. they usually make their homes in caves with many valuable crystals. adventurers will often hunt these dragons to gain massive amounts of trias,hectas,and octas. but very few live to claim their wealth. it has sharp blades of crystals running down from its head, down its back, and to the tip of its tail. as well as 1ft long claws. its teeth appear as the blades of finely crafted daggers lined up and made of crystal. its eyes would glow and beam the color of its crystal body.

magic: its magical abilities would go with its color respectively. the strongest magics of that way.

physical attacks: uses its tail to whip at its enemy and claws to swipe at them. sometimes it will attemp to jump on its enemy, instantly crushing and killing them. but it cannot jump very high or very far due to its size so the victim would have to be foolish enough to stand that close to its feet. it will also snap at its enemies, usually doing crippling damage if not killing its enemy when the bite succeeds. the crystal dragon is slow but extremely powerful.

difficulty and hp: very high hp, maybe highest in game. it is extremely difficult to defeat and usually takes a well balanced party of 5 people to take it down, assuming each person is experienced and strong in their specialized abilities.

loot/rewards/drops: if a few individuals are lucky enough to take this juggernaut down, they would get to salvage as much of its body as they wish to sell for tons of money. though they may take whatever they wish, the most valuable part of this dragon is its eyes, as they have a beautiful glow and are the purest and finest part of the dragons body. you might also find very powerful magic items and weapons heavily enchanted with whatever way magic the dragon used. magic items droped would vary, but would drop something each person would find very useful. for examplw. if you have 2 archers, a mage and 2 warriors, it would drop 2 warrior items,2 archer items, and one mage item. this way everyone is happy with what they get and there is no dispute over \"who gets the loot\"

[Urzumph]

Name : Arcana? Arcane Shadows? (Trying to think of something based on magic, or arcane)
Physical Description : Slightly transparent (NB: can the engine do this?) Multi-coloured
(Like a rainbow of splotches, with no concieable patern.) Again, if it\'s possible within
the engine, I think it would be cool if the colours changed / moved. Roughly Human shaped,
about Shoulder height with elongated arms.

History : When large (usually multi-person) spells are cast, they can take on a life of
their own - literally. Normally, if the spell is completed (fizling is completion,
just not the desired one) then the magic is released back into the world, However, if
the spell-casters leave the spell un-completed, say, for example, they were all killed by
(insert evil moster here (EG orcs)) then the magic is not released - it is trapped until
some kind soul sends it back where it belongs (IE: kills it)

Designed for Medium - High levels (The size / intelligence / health can be varied on the
spell and it\'s level of completeness)

Attacks :
Melee attack : Flailing Arms
(NOTE: because the creature is pure magic, even it\'s melee attacks should gain the
advantages / disadvantages of magic (IE: it ignores armour like a fireball does, but
suffer\'s spell resistance as a fireball does)
Magic : Can cast small spells as a normal spellcaster does - doing so drains health
as it would drain a spellcaster\'s mana

Health : Varies, but Medium - High

Items dropped :
Distilled magic (perhaps used in mana potions / wandmaking / etc)
or perhaps just Mana potions / wands / magical cloaks....

[Zhazazael]

Name: Field hunter (If you can come up with a better one, please tell me...)

A large beast, perhaps 1,5 times the size of a horse. It has long spikes on it\'s back, a long tail and several horns pointing backwards. It is about as long as four men, but most of the length is the tail, which is slightly longer than the body and head. The head is bare bone and has long narrow teeth. It is a fourlegged beast and rather fast. It has short gray fur.

Average difficulty

Attacks:
*It bites and shakes the victim (Strong attack)
*It can swipe with the front legs (Medium attack)
*It can whip with the tail in front of it three times after each other dealing three individual weak strikes (Weak attack)

Magic:
*When it dies it curses the one(s) who killed it. It makes any type of healing extremely ineffective and lasts for 12 hours.

Loot:
*If the one(s) who kill it are animal trainers, it will have a small stone that can summon a slightly smaller version of itself that can be tamed and mounted (Always if it\'s a lone trainer, rare if not)
*Some pieces of bone that can be used for armor (Uncommon)
*Money (Common)
*A skull that can be used as an arm piece or shield (Rare)

The creature should be a rare encounter in open areas, only at night as it hunts then. Might be found sleeping in special caves at daytime.

And btw... I thought you had heard, they don\'t want any dragons! They\'re tired of seeing dragons everywhere!

The Bloodseekers

- describe the monster\'s appearance in detail (include colors)

A Bloodseeker has the body of an wolf and the head of an boar. These creatures have the size of a horse and are extremely muscular, with thin nearly black fur. Their eyes glow red in the dark.
They use to life in wide open areas, but are also seen in forests, always driven by their bloodthirst. You can hear their angrily grunts from far.

- briefly describe any combat styles (how they attack, what body parts they use to attack, etc.)

Bloodseekers are beserkers. They try bite their prey to death with their enormous jaws, or use their sharp claws slit through light armour, flesh and bone.
These creatures aren\'t too fast or intelligent, but they are pure instincts, muscles and adrenaline!

- please name your monster (we got some without names last time)

Bloodseeker.
