RoCkEtInToXiCaTe]The Crystal
It has a white left arm, referred to as "White Trick," and a black right arm dubbed "Black Joker," a yellow orb on its forehead, a red orb in its left chest, and a blue orb for a buckle at its waist. It can control lightning and fire it off in the form of dark orbs that surge with electricity. It is independent and dangerous, and capable of great speed and power.

I was thinking of a CR of 5-20, like it should grow in power the stronger your characters get, or something. You maybe first encounter it at 5th or 6th level and then it's a recurring villain throughout the campaign until level 20 when it's the final boss or something?

Maybe from a negative or positive energy plane, and you must go there in the final battle with it to kill it for good or maybe it should be a construct? I don't know what kind of monster it would be. It should maybe have class levels, or some way to advance periodically throughout the adventure so it gets harder so it's nigh impossible to kill at the final battle or something? I don't know how to do this, help anyone?


Does that make it easier for you? Now it's just a monster concept instead of something from a TV show. Maybe you can help wrote:

Not me. Not really enough of a concept. Its just a description of what it looks like and its preffered actions in combat, and call me whatever you like, but thats just not enough to work off of for me. The premis is just too.. skeletal, if that term could apply. I'm just better with more standard DnD themed things, sorry.

I'll chip in, if I may. I need some practice, so this will be great. And should monsters be posted in the old or new format?

*I don't really understand the new format, so if someone can post a link to an article where the explain where the notes for feats go, it would be a god-send, until then, new format monsters are a shakey thing for me*

Bluehero, by "feeds off of despair" do you mean makes people happier by sucking away their sadness, or amplifies it and feeds on some of the exess?

This post is also reserved for Bluehero's requested creature: the twisted Crying Visage.

Dracomortis]Throughout the past couple of months, I've had countless ideas for monsters and such that I just never got around to doing for various reasons. The result: some 300+ monsters in a Notepad file that look like the table of contents for a new Monster Manual.

While looking at my sizeable little file, I realized that I am probably not alone in this situation - surely other players and DMs alike have ideas for monsters, right? But when they don't have time to make them, the monsters begin to fade, and eventually what was a great idea is forgotten.

The solution, then, is this thread. Its purpose is simple: those who would like an entirely new and original monster may request it here, so that I or another like myself may stat it up for you. Note that, unlike its cousin, this thread is not for requesting monsters with templates added to them or those with class levels, but for entirely new monsters altogether.

I will, time permitting, complete as many requests as possible. Along the way, I will also be attempting to finish some of my own ideas from among the massive list that has developed. Keep in mind that all material is PEACHable, and I am always open to suggestions to improve the quality and balance of anything I create. So, without further ado, I present to you the New Monster Request Thread. Please, don't be shy wrote:

Since you have never heard of the monster I want to make, it's an original monster. it has a description (Generally the itallic part under the stat block), and it's combat prowess, as well as what stats should be highest (Strength and Dexterity), it also says it is intelligent (Above average INT score for creature type and CR). So, does this help any? That I went into more details? 'cause I can make it more specific if that's what you want? I just need some ideas for how I can make a main villain that isn't quite an NPC, but more like if you had....a..oh I don't know, for pete's sake a Pixie enemy, and the Pixie got stronger and stronger until it was like a dragon-lich-vampire-werewolf-pixie-half-fiend!!!! OMFG NUUUUU! You know? Just something that progressively gets stronger throughout the story.

The monster is about a man's height with black flaming hair and sort of a white thing around it's black face. It's very fast, and very strong, and it can control electricity at will, and shoot out electrical balls from it's hands at opponents far away. It is a being of pure energy, and it's not from the material plane. It's humanoid looking, like a pure black human with black fire hair, and the afor-mentioned white arm, black arm, etc...kind of like a zebra human. It's intelligent, and sentient and it can speak human, and it is very, very powerful. Does this help any?

Secrets Untold]This post is also reserved for Bluehero's requested creature: the twisted Crying Visage.


I also add an idea for this request and I think I'm gonna develop it. Do you mind if I post it here too ? It would be fun to compare two different creatures made from the same description. I'm sure they could be really different...

If you don't want to, I won't post it. You did called it first.

So unless you say something before then, my version of Bluehero's requested creature, the Malespero, will be posted saturday m wrote:

Look, RoCkEtInToXiCaTe, there's no need to get distressed. I have my opinions, and I have a right to them, just as you have a right to yours. My opinion is that the information you gave is too sparse, key word OPINION. Someone else might be able to help you with it, but I can't, and I apologize. Now please, unless you have more requests, just be patient. One request does not really warrant three posts, it just makes me waste more space answering you. Besides, with all YOU know about this creature, why dont YOU make it and post it on the forums, and then get advice on how to fix whatever could be unbalanced? That seems like a good solution.

Just a quick notice: A. No more reserving posts, simply because the thread doesn't bump when you update, and B. The Death Manticula is up (picture coming soon, hopefully).

AND!

Just a reminder... Show
My request. I need a creature that's very tall, with 8 arms, a Gore attack, and Tunnel and Climb speed, preferably bipedal, but its up to you, with the Outsider type, maybe a Demon? Preferably CR 12-15.
