#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

Phenomenon: The Sculk

A type of xenofungus of unknown origin that is almost pitch black with blue glowing dots on it and the texture of lichen. It's soft and sticky to the touch. It could have been from the depths of a cave or from a meteorite that crashed long ago. The fungus thrives in the dark and spreads when it tastes death upon its fruiting body. Whenever anything dies on it and it spreads, the material it spreads to turns almost bone-like. It only seems to spread upon dirt, gravel, clay, granite, and stone, but it's rare for it to spread to other materials as well such as wood.

Once it settles into its home, it will do anything in its power to protect it. It will grow nodules that will sense noise, which in turn will send signals to a strange bone-like structure called a Sculk Shrieker to call out. If the Shrieker calls out enough, the true guardian of the Sculk will rise from the lichen and charge at whatever made the noise.

Type: Biohazard (motive: to infect, harm, and spread)

Power:  

Spread & Grow

Overwhelming Presence

Summon The Warden

Weakness: Simply scraping the Sculk with an iron hoe and putting it in a metal soundproof container can help contain it for relocation. Once its contained, it will not be able to summon The Warden.

Custom Moves:

Spread & Grow: anything that dies on it, whether its a fly or a hunted rabbit, will help it spread more onto whatever material its next to

Overwhelming Presence: Whenever someone travel upon any remnant of the Sculk, they feel an overwhelming presence of something watching them.

Monster: The Warden

A 9ft tall humanoid covered head to toe in the Sculk. They are broad bodied with thick arms and elephant-like legs & feet. It has no eyes, instead a massive mouth on the front and strange tendrils on the side of the head. Its chest is exposed, revealing its ribs and what seem to be a glowing, beating heart. The heart beats faster when it's on the hunt.

Type: Executioner (Motive: to punish those that enter The Sculk's territory)

Powers:

Unnatural strength

Incredible speed

Enhanced senses

Supersonic Blast

Clouded Vision

Weakness: The Warden is completely blind and relies on vibration, smell, and touch in order to find its mark. The easiest way to avoid it from emerging all together is to sneak around the Sculk and don't trigger the Shriekers. One can also divert its attention by throwing something against a hard surface.

You can also overwhelm its senses by multiple people making noise- as it only focuses on one target, it will get confused on what to go after next.

To kill the Warden, one has to strike right at the heart in its chest. When it's killed, the Sculk will take time to regenerate a new Warden to send out.

Attacks:

Supersonic Blast (3 harm far forceful magic)

Heavy Slams (4 harm hand)

Harm: 16

Custom Moves:

Clouded Vision: Anyone who gets close to The Warden will lose their vision. If a hunter gets too close, they must roll with +cool. On a success, they avoid losing their sight and won't have to roll again when they get close. On a mix, the won't lose their sight but will have to roll again if they get close. On a miss, they lose their sight- they take -1 ongoing on Act Under Pressure, Kick Some Ass, Use Magic, Investigate a Mystery, and Read a Bad Situation until they are able to get away from the Sculk.

Minion: Sculk Shriekers

Thicker version of the Sculk with four rib-like protrusions set in a circle. In the center of the circle is a writhing glowing mass. Each corner between the protrusions are circular nodules that look like eyes.

Type: Renfield (motive: to push the monsters to the victims)

Powers:

Clouded Vision

Loud Shrieking

Sense presence via sculk sensor

Harm: 1 harm (armor 2)

Weakness:

Metal hoe or explosions- anything else won't hurt it

It won't react if there's no sensor nearby

Custom Moves:

Clouded Vision: Anyone who gets close to The Warden will lose their vision. If a hunter gets too close, they must roll with +cool. On a success, they avoid losing their sight and won't have to roll again when they get close. On a mix, the won't lose their sight but will have to roll again if they get close. On a miss, they lose their sight- they take -1 ongoing on Act Under Pressure, Kick Some Ass, Use Magic, Investigate a Mystery, and Read a Bad Situation until they are able to get away from the Sculk.

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.
