what are some of your favorite monsters/tg/?
>>97987128Lawful Evil pig faced orcs, Grumsh created them to destroy the world (as a sort of self replicating lesser form of devil) and that's what they costantly try to do.You want to play a half orc? Ok, none of this handsome noble savage bullshit. you have a pig nose, tusks and are a smelly, vicious, stupid, cruel, ugly bastard that most (humans, elves, dwarves, halfings, even other orcs, etc) usually attack on sight, because they knw you will attack and destroy everything you can the second they let their guard down.
I've always liked mercenaries, hedge knights, and various soldiers of fortune. A step up from bandits but not organised in a way that means they have a supply train backing them. They're armoured vultures and they're happy to strike a deal as long as they walk away with a heavy purse. It's also fun to fight enemies that have equivalent skillsets to the PCs.
>>97987128I like just about any non-monstrous humanoid enemy, people smart enough to be reasoned with and spoken to but who may be so wicked and depraved as to be beyond salvation. Bandits, cultists, the dark lord's soldiers, so on. Makes for fun roleplaying, especially to have villains threatening to murder, maim, and rape your PCs to get them really invested in killing the fuck out of the bad guy.
>>97987128Aside from all the dragons? The Star Spawn, just because of how insanely powerful they are. Especially the literal living planets in the older editions that actually have stats.
I'm partial to "neutral" races that can give the party a bit of respite if they play their cards well, like miconids and fflumphs. The dorkier looking the better.

>>97991365You don't. Roll to seduce.
>>97987128The motherfuckkin Ogre Mage, motherfucker.
Gnolls are my favorite “generic” early game enemy
>>97987128Any variant of Worms That Walk.
>>97992730That entire campaign and Kyuss is something I want to run for my group someday.
>>97988748Kinda based desu>>97987128This guy, the cadaver collector. Fuck you if you think it's edgy. It looks sick.
>>97992735Age of Worms, right? I don’t know much about it besides they’re a feature.
>>97992745Basically an entire campaign about the worm that walks, classic 3.5 adventure path that was printed across multiple magazine issues. I am honestly surprised it wasn’t remastered in any way for nudnd these days it’s pretty often brought up
>>97987128I'm a simple man; love me blue dragons. I find them the easiest to build a big campaign or enemy faction around as their tendency towards hierarchies mean you could have a literal empire of these dudes ruling a desert, with a great wyrm as the big villain while his offspring serve as generals over armies of lesser creatures, like enslaved humans or hobgoblins, undead, golems, etc. I'm running a desert campaign now and while a blue dragon isn't the main antagonist he is a powerful force that the players must oppose to protect their city.Also love Linnorms (Gray, Dread, and Swamp), Ethergaunts, Fomorians and Firbolgs, Minotaurs, Mummies, Tomb Spiders, Rocs, Manticores, Spawn of Tiamat, Drow, and psionic monsters like the Chekryan, Cerebrilith and Caller-in-Darkness. I try to fit them in campaigns whenever possible but always make sure they're memorable encounters.>>97992741Loved these guys also ever since I got a mini of one in a booster pack years ago.
>>97987128Has anyone here used Krampus?
