#monster idea

[rentherocknerd25]

i love the idea of monsters that still have the same or similar instincts to the animal they're based on. i want a young satyr who headbutts everything. i want a werewolf who melts at belly rubs. a naga monster who craves warmth and has a giant heat lamp. a harpy who collects trash and trinkets and adds them to their bed. a vampire who's really lightweight and hangs from walls not ceilings. a centaur who flicks their tail and sleeps standing up. a mermaid who... idk what fish do. a minotaur who's territorial and freaks out if you walk in their house. i just want reasonable monsters. is that too much to ask for?

The beast, it stalks the woods with gnashing teeth, glowing eyes that seek the blood of heretics and their godless ilk.

But for now, he is just trying to get his cat out of a tree.

Monster: Lawn Ornament Mimics

Lawn Ornament Mimics take the form of lawn decorations, ranging from garden gnomes to a seasonal variety such as skeletons and reindeer. It removes the original ornament to take its place, making the lawn its new territory. Anyone that encroaches onto its territory will have it lash out or hunt them. Otherwise, it will not bother anything or anyone else once it’s settled down.

They also reproduce via fragmentation or binary fission, meaning if a piece of themselves is broken off, a new individual develops from that piece or they split themselves in half naturally.

Type: Parasite (motive: to possess, control and devour)

Powers:

False Appearance

Strong Carapace

Adhesive Residue

Razor-sharp Teeth

Acid Spray

Weakness:

A way to tell a lawn mimic from an ordinary decoration is to tap it with a stick. If its hard, doesn’t crack, and possibly sticks to the stick, that’s a mimic.

As the mimic will regenerate/reproduce if even a little piece of it still exists after being killed/destroyed, it’s advised to disintegrate every last piece of it with blue fire or a disintegration spell. Bug Spray will also help melt the carapace to get to its soft weak spot. Melted carapaces do not regenerate into new beings.

Attacks:

Bite (2 harm hand ignore-armor messy)

Acid Spray (1 harm far area volatile)

Harm: 9 harm (2 armor)

Custom Moves:

False Appearance: While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary lawn object.

Strong Carapace: Unlike ordinary lawn ornaments, the mimic has a thick, hardened shell encasing its soft flesh.

Adhesive: The mimic adheres to anything that touches it and starts to dissolve it for consumption.

Trying a new style

Something easier and more relaxing than what I usually do. Not that I hate my other style but I think there's too much room left for improving that one. This one on the other hand, is less challenging to do. Also I wanted an excuse to use my markers

Monster idea: the pseudo-hydra.

Rather than growing new heads, the pseudo-hydra is actually multiple creatures.

Similar to how anglerfish mating works, two Pseudo-hydras will actually merge their bodies together into one. There's no dimorphism in what happens, as their sex is reduced to a reproductive gonad.

Rather they both become one creature. In favt multiple can merge together, older Pseudo-hydras end up having many many heads as they are a vast bundle of male and female mates that now appear as many heads on a single massive body.

The second most dangerous polycule.

If there is a monster for an Analog Horror, would it be...?

Aight so I'm redoing some old designs

So I'm just redesigning the draconic hippo first. I kind of fucked with its anatomy more to make it look more hippo like but then also additionally fucked with its anatomy even more to make it look more dragon like than my initial attempt. I made it to lithe, to streamlined to good looking. This is a thing that is turning into a completely different animal that is literally a part of a different sector of animal types. This is a terrestrial amphibious mamillion carnivore Who has suddenly developed a fucking stone heart in the lore of Elden ring and it's just turning into a horrifying, flightless dragon parasite monster, This is in some hypothetical alternate reality where the thing that's bleeding into stuff and like fucking with things growing like the Crucible does in the meantime line, is instead the dragon Outer God

This time around I also actually used reference images instead of just memory and used the picture of what a proper hippos skull looks like to create this design

[akuma74]

Well I am back on my little nightmares hyperfixation and now I am making my own monsters.

And I just thought, throughout the games most monsters were obssessed by something and hated kids, but what about a monster who is obssessed by kids ?

A sort of toxic mother who desesperatly want childrens to "take care" of. Who will lure the kids with songs, treats, plushies and promise of safety. Who will actually protect them from the outside world but preventing them from ever leaving.

A monster with an apparent kindness but will get incredibly mad for the slightest "misbehaving", who will lash out and be violent everytime one of the kids do not fit her unrealistic expectation of being a "perfect child".

So yeah it's just a bunch of random idea in my head, need to put some order into that.

[onehobgoblin]

A giant monster who is a big jelly cube, perpetually angry, screaming with rage, eager to destroy the world. Completely unstoppable, immortal, capable of consuming everything in his way. But it can only move 1 meter every month.

The nearest city is 15 kilometers away.

It will take 1250 years until it get there.

I don't know what to do with this, but it is something I thought about

[mcsh-mmv]

i think more vampires need to bite deep sea sharks or just sharks in general, i think a shark going "bleh bleh bleh i vant to drink your blood" or asking to be let into a coral reef would be hillarious, but also a shark that can turn into a bat means that as long as they're in batform they can hide in caves at day time and if they're fresh water tollerant like a bullshark we could have vampire sharks fighting goth wearwolves in places sharks have no place being, like mountain creeks and the elabkrate fountains in europe

Monster Idea: Indoor Vampire

it's a vampire who's powers can work during the day, but only inside of buildings. they can go out during the day. they just turn into a normal person.

Home Safety Hotline-Based Threat: The Dream Weaver

CW: SPIDERS & ARACHNOPHOBIA

I'll include an image from in-game, however I will put it under a Read More so that it hopefully won't cause triggers. I will also tag appropriatly.

Monster: Dream Weavers

Dream Weavers are large, spider-like creatures known to weave dreams into reality. They also are known to cause nearby humans to only dream about everything being covered in webs. They will only move into a household if no other spiders are present.

Type: Parasite (motive: to feed off of dreams and make sure their food source doesn’t escape)

Powers:

- Sticky Webbing

- Sleep-inducing venom

- Dream Eater

Weakness: Dream Weavers live off on only dreams. To ensure it doesn’t get its food source and encourage it to leave, one must stay awake until it moves on. One can also attempt to leave the house the Dream Weaver resides in. However, attempting either will enrage the Dream Weaver and try to keep them within by ensnaring the victim and injecting the venom.

For a more forceful approach, one can utilize sledgehammers to crush it, but it is not reccomended

Attacks:

- Ensnare (0 harm far webbed)

- Sleep-inducing Venom (1 harm intimate sleep-inducing)

Harm: 8 harm

Custom Moves:

- Ensnare: If a hunter gets caught in the webbing the Dream Weaver creates, if they have a sharp weapon such as a knife they can cut themselves out. If they try to break out through sheer force alone, they must roll No Limits.

- Sleep-inducing Venom: Hunters injected with the venom will fall asleep eventually, not instantaneously like normal bystanders. Within a time frame of the Keeper’s choosing, they must take something that will keep them awake, or else they will fall asleep.  Sleep can only be roused via smelling salts or ice cold water.

Another evolution idea

This is another old art of mine from last year with its more detailed version

As I said before, I tried to create something like digimon and pokemon

This one started with a bottle of water

No I'm not kidding, it was suppose to be a creature that looks like a water bottle, not a vase or flower_bee monster

When I began to draw tho, my hand decided it was more of a flower themed creture than a plastic bottle

But I need to create that one too.

it still exists in my head rent free and mocking me for not giving it life.
