Re: The Favorite Monster Thread
Not familiar with the reference, doesn't seem to be in any books, and google isn't cooperating. Where do I find these (apparently most prized) monsters?

Re: The Favorite Monster Thread
For GURPS-native monsters my vote goes to flavor first - so it'd have to be beasties from the 3E Fantasy Bestiary. I'm still waiting for an opportunity to use a Paluc Cat.
But a couple people have mentioned creatures ported over from other games and I'll second you on Mariliths (especially with 1E art so you feel like you're in Wisconsin in 1975) and Scylla. Anything from Talislanta gets a thumbs-up from me, but I think my final vote goes to the Firefox from Steve Jackson (the other, English one) 's Sorcery series. Not only was it awesome John Blanche art, but also 1 FP to burst into flames for Dodge vs. 1d large-area damage every time you hit it - and goes out with a 2d bang when it expires. They were a nice unexpected combination in our game - cool to have an opponent that's not so difficult to defeat but still has the players scrambling for arrows, Icy Breaths and new tactics. |

Re: The Favorite Monster Thread
Never gotten to use it in a game, but I really like the Skeleton Demon from Pyramid #3/70. The concept of a monster that brainwashes everyone around it into thinking it's a "good guy" is just so delightfully creepy.

Re: The Favorite Monster Thread
It depends on what you mean by 'favorite' and 'monster'.
I like dragons, and kaiju, and have often blended the two. I often use monsters that are almost human, but not quite, not just physically but mentally. Creatures that have human or near-human intelligence, but are by their nature monstrous. I have a race of nasty, implacably hostile, psionic, intelligent cephalopods going on. There was once on Earth in my world a race, or species, of dangerous apes that fed primarily on our proto-human ancestors, and left a lasting fear of such things in the descendant races. I have a soft spot for the aboleth and the mind flayer, though I change some details and file the serial numbers off when I use them. I like and draw inspiration from the D&D Tiamat/Takhisis entity, though that's pretty big league as monsters go... From Lovecraft, Byakhee have their place, as do Dark Young.
