The Favorite Monster Thread
When it comes to Dungeon Fantasy, we all have some favorites. Monsters either in the book, inspired by another system or purely homebrewed, that embody a particular concept that the players will enjoy battling.
My favorite so far is the ankheg, a pony-sized beetle monster that can shoot acid. They're great monsters because you can use them just about anywhere--they're burrowers and show up in the wilderness, dungeons, and even farmer's fields or in horrifying warrens beneath cities! What's your favorite monster and why? |

Re: The Favorite Monster Thread
I like Doom Children, simply because it got the biggest reaction of horror from my players. They seem so innocuous, sort of messed up that little demon babies are coming at us with knives, but whatever. Then they start exploding. My melee focused, ranged attack deficient party was freaking right out.

Re: The Favorite Monster Thread
The GURPS monster I'm most apt to remember is the bushwolf from Banestorm, followed by the Nerlock from Creatures of the Night.

Re: The Favorite Monster Thread
My favorite monster is humans, because you never know if they are friend or foe, they negotiate, and all around interact interestingly with the players.

Re: The Favorite Monster Thread
My group doesn't play DF. "Monsters" are quite rare in our games.
Likewise.

Re: The Favorite Monster Thread
My group rarely plays DF, either. That said, monsters run the gamut; my current group is fending off an extradimensional invasion of 20 foot tall killer robots and cyborgs.
