Lawnmower Boy Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Re: Monsters Cityphant. Actually a subspecies of mastodon rather than elephant, the cityphant has evolved to to graze downtown urban parks that smaller ruminants can't reach on account of they keep being run over trying to cross major arterials at rush hour. Cityphants are adroit at hiding behind lamposts and bike stands, and, at worst, even a Hummer going 60 will bounce off their twelve-foot, hairy sides. Just don't get in the way when a cityphant is going for a succulent bit of discarded fast food burrito, or you can expect a tusking in your future.

Lord Liaden Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Re: Monsters Blood Hounds A Blood Hound is the creation of a supervillain skilled in both technology and sorcery. The villain uses necromancy to animate dead humans as ghouls, a minor form of animalistic undead which subsists on the flesh of corpses. The villain then subjects the ghouls to radical bionic augmentation which greatly augments their abilities, and cybernetically hard-wires loyalty into their brains. Blood Hounds are strong, quick, agile, unnaturally resistant to injury, and have fearsome metal teeth and claws. They can consciously shift their muscle distribution to optimize it for running, leaping, swimming, or grappling. Their claws can tunnel even through stone and concrete, and find the smallest irregularities in a surface, or dig their own hand and foot holds in most materials. Thus a Blood Hound is able to climb practically sheer surfaces, even at acute angles. The Hounds also possess exceptionally keen senses, especially smell. They're superb trackers by scent, and can identify, locate, and target creatures through scent alone. As a result of implanting so much inanimate matter into the ghouls' bodies, their connection to the realm of Death is strengthened. The Hounds radiate an aura of Death making living creatures subconsciously unwilling to perceive them. It's difficult for someone to see a Blood Hound unless he's looking directly at it, or to hear it unless it makes a loud noise. A Hound is so unnatural, even artificial sensing and recording devices are metaphysically reluctant to register its presence. Combined with their movement abilities, a Blood Hound can go almost anywhere undetected. Blood Hounds no longer think the way humans do. In many ways their minds are animal-like, driven by basic desires like hunger and survival. They can grasp only the simplest concepts, and don't understand technology or even most tools. But unlike natural animals there's a profound malevolence in their psyches. They relish inflicting fear and pain on living creatures, particularly intelligent ones who can fully appreciate their plight. Hounds like to prolong the suffering of their victims before closing in for the kill. The Hounds naturally group themselves into packs of six to ten individuals, with a simple hierarchy of dominance and submission. They prefer to hunt and fight in packs, using tactics similar to wolves but even more sophisticated. They subsist on raw meat and blood, preferably from quarry they hunt and kill themselves, although they'll readily scavenge corpses, even those in an advanced state of decay. Their favorite food and prey is humans. Blood Hounds are humanoid in shape but unmistakably inhuman. They're totally hairless and strongly muscled, with hunched backs and apishly long arms. A Hound's skin is fully transparent, but with a glossy sheen as though the Hound is coated in glass or plastic. Their blood-red muscles are visible beneath, writhing and swelling as they reconfigure. Their teeth and claws are oversized and made of gleaming silver-gray metal. A Blood Hound has no nose or ear structures on its face, giving its head a distinct skull-like appearance. Its eyes are solid black, without visible iris or pupil. (The Blood Hounds are fully detailed, including Fifth Edition HERO stats, in Digital Hero #44, along with their master and his other creations. The illustration of a Blood Hound attached below is by Darren Bulmer, also from DH 44.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to mention their peculiar relationship with the oversized flightless yellow birds, Aves Giganticus, something of a benign monstrosity itself.

Legatus Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Re: Monsters Okay... so the dogs were monsters, or what? Anyway, let's move on to the Spinosaur, a terrible creature that really existed. Could quite get the head right, but you'll get the idea.

Anyway, let's move on to the Spinosaur, a terrible creature that really existed. Could quite get the head right, but you'll get the idea. All that's showing up here is the square with the red 'X' in it, but I'm guessing that it's supposed to be a pic of the dinosaur from Jurassic Park III that kicked T-Rex's a$$ and had him for lunch? EDIT: OK, the pic appeared after I submitted the post, which answers my question with a 'Yes'. Major Tom 2009 Minus 47 and counting...

Major Tom 2009 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Re: Monsters Here's a monster that I'd posted previously over on the DC-type Heromachine thread -- the Soultaker, a creature that not only feeds upon the neural energy of its victims, but also devours their brains once all of their energy has been drained: [ATTACH=CONFIG]44805[/ATTACH] A more detailed description of the creature can be found on the DC-type Heromachine thread.
