What tweaks have you made to the standard monsters to make them even more terrifying?

#ttrpg#dnd#rpg

@golgaloth

Is there anything more terrifying than a soulless, heartless human being?

Other monsters can be dismissed, or slain.

Human monsters become wealthy, or politicians, or both! 😜

@golgaloth

Now I want to play Untitled Megoosa Game…

@golgaloth A goose is one of the most terrifying animals on earth. Way scarier than snakes.

@golgaloth

I think you've just summoned it and this is going to get ugly

@golgaloth Imagine the sound of all those geese hissing at you.

@orangelantern Signature is on the art, but thanks for the link. I have a terrible headcold atm, so not as diligent as I usually am.

@golgaloth I made stirges nest in bodies and also made them try to get under armor and under the skin of anyone disturbing the bodies they are nesting in ...

@oliof That is vile. I must steal it immediately.

@golgaloth It really stopped the grave robbing in my campaigns. No idea why.

@golgaloth in a similar vein, subverting an old RuneQuest idea, goblins are plant based and feeding potted goblin sprouts vampire blood is how you get blood ents.

@golgaloth 🎼 she went HONK! and the girl turned me to stone 🎶

@golgaloth

IF they were Cobra Chicken heads (aka, Canada Goose and I'd have screamed)

@golgaloth Doppelgangers evolved their ability to imitate people not just to laze around like Goldilocks or to be spies for wealthy nobles, but to walk right into the homes and live among their their prey to devour them at their leisure.

@golgaloth So many changes just to make them more challenging to my powerful group of players, but mostly boring changes... There was however recently an evil bad guy's island palace, that I turned into a walking island.

@golgaloth OMG, that is more terrifying.

*remembers geese who would gang up to hassle students getting off the bus at uni* *shudders*

@golgaloth I built an entire vampire civilization in quebec that is based on daybreakers but have weather mages as well.
