D&D blog challenge missed days.

MONSTER (ABBERATION)

Some of the stranger more grotesque creatures in D&D are very nightmare fuelish.

One of my favorites is the gelatinous cube.

It's a big cube of jello death fun.

It's a gooey picker upper it's not exactly evil but can be malicious. It all depends I look at it and think it's a passive monster unless you get caught up in it or strike it. 

Also it's odd shape and almost huge size compared to most ooze monsters too make it unique in this department.

MONSTER(IMMORTAL/OUTSIDER)

Let's see. Immortal? hmmm.  

Let's go with hmmmm.. Orcus. I'm bored I'll talk about that guy.

So Orcus is basically a Devil in hell. Well maybe. He's classified like that. But looks more like as his name implies a classic pig nosed gygaxian Orc.  Also Grummish looks more like the modern Tolkien orc/goblin as seen in the Deities and demigod books. 

I like him because he's just a purely evil and chaotic monster. He's doesn't need a reason and also he likes to pull evil schemes by dropping his scepter into the realms every now and then.( see magical artifacts/relic AD&D DMG)

MONSTER (ELEMENTAL/PLANT)

GOD OF THUNDER AND wait wrong thing.

Well thunder related.

Storm elemental are cool.

Basically well wind elemental. I like the idea of a sentient angry storm hurling thunder bolts tearing shit up. Also making things just more annoying is the fact that it hurls shit up and can easily knock things over depending on where fought. 

In general elementals should not be messed with.

Updates coming!

I'm sorry for being away for so long, but I did not have access to my pc often to post anything. I will write up something tomorrow and finish up the Ravenloft adventure to it's current point.
So I'll finish up the missing 30 day things as well.
Thanks.

FAVORITE MONSTER (UNDEAD)

I do not have much experience with Liches as of yet. So I'm a little biased here. I've only seen the liches like our man from TOMB OF HORRORS old farts decicrated who sit around and don't do much.

Or one that is battle ready will rip you a new rectum such as Sauron. It's funny when I think of Sauron I think of well a giant eye. Never a Lich. I've started reading Fellowship by the way finally! Though I honestly like both!

Moving on. Vampires since I've been running Ravenloft Lord Strahd is an awesome foe! Their manipulative abilities and illusionary spells are very interesting and they are great for adventures involving mystery or even as exceptionally challenging foes. 

A honorary mention is Skeletons. Skelebros are awesome, but are more or less canon fodder unless you beef them up.

ANIMAL OR VERMIN Favorite monster!

You know whats Cool Bears.

You know what else is cool? Owls

OWLBEARS!!!!  Are cool and will rip your head off too. With a giant knashing beak and claws. It's an odd but amazing chimera of a critter. Avian and mammalian features made into a mesh of destructive power. 

One day I will have an army of Owl Bears. All with names and rank.
