This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: mAcular Chaotic;1023176Flail Snails are great.

When I ran 5e for my group, I had them encounter the flail snail, because earlier the players mocked it.  It proceeded to beat the living snot out of them.  Was amusing.

I can't lie, I loved many of the oddball monsters from MM2 and the Fiend Folio. Too many DMs fell into "orcs, orcs, and more orcs, but in various sizes" ruts.

I don't know if it was the dumbest, or even as dumb as many mentioned, but the remorhaz never made sense to me. Ice worm, hides in snow, but is really hot and will burn the crap out of you. That being said, I loved them and used them as much as I could.

And they were so frail because they did not avail themselves of kale or the hefting of bales such that they looked rather pale and the flail snail did nail them to the rail and trim their sail and sent them home in a pail in the mail. Did I miss any [strike]good[/strike]bad ones?

After all that, their widows would wail...

If they left their women behind and took a boat and then a train and then walked to find the cup of Christ but didn't, it would be a

You kind of asked for dumb... right there in the thread title. Once you let it out of the bag, no putting it back.

I read some OSR blog once, many moons ago, where the writer "Re-skinned" blink dogs as "Warp Wolves".

Boom. Lame monster made metal with only one small change.

Or you could reskin it the other direction. A while back when reading through superhero RPGs, I realized that speedsters are just teleporters with obstacles. So you could figure out their maximum range, change that too a movement rate and boom. Hyper Hound. The great thing is that if you say "Hyper Hound", most everyone will immediately think of that one specific dog. You know the one.
