Post your favorite mundane monsters or stories of players underestimating them because they are just big animals. Giant crabs are always fun>High AC and okay HP, not easy to knock down>Show up in groups, so they can't usually be awful struck>Only appear in very specific types of locations, so they are very telegraphed>Deal massive damage, especially if they hit both attacksEvery time crabs show up, it's a good (or at least memorable) time.
>>97831046And it's always fun to attack their weak point for massive damage.
>>97831061Even better since you know they are based on actual Japanese history.
We were playing troika for a one shot and were basically delta green operators clearing out a ship full of monsters. One of the encounters was supposed to be a speed bump with goblin-level mooks, but poor dice rolls had one of us on the ground, being almost beaten to death by a mook with a frying pan.
>>97831307Gotta give that guy an upgrade. When a mook beats up the players, he get's a class level (or the equivalent for your system)
>>97831446He got a few lead medals soon after IIRC, but that was funny, after a few dice rolls I felt the need to drink another gin tonic, it was that good of a time.
