Request for Help : Monsters Needed!
Adral:
I'll try with one!
---Monster template---
Name: Stone Giant
Strength: Superb
Dexterity: Poor
Speed: Mediocre/Poor
Attack: Melee and Ranged
Special: Can take a stone of the map to use as weapon (the character might change, or the color at least, to show this up at a single glance) When using a stone, deals double damage in melee, and can throw it to the player for normal damage, losing the stone (but he can take another one later)
Behavior: Goes for the nearest stone. Then, if he's near Gatsu, he'll come to him and bash him to a pulp, and if he's very far, he'll throw that stone. Either way, you are screwed :P
Description: A giant made of stone, with big muscles and a ugly face
-----------------------
Name: Thorn Elemental (there has to be a better name)
Strength: Poor
Dexterity: Fair
Speed: Fair
Attack: Melee
Special: When attacked in melee, causes damage to the player. When you are in Berserk mode, however, the attack is SO brutal that it doesn't have that much opportunity to damage the player (so you receive less damage if attacking him in berserk mode)
Behavior: Goes for Gatsu, unpaused.
Description: A plant-like critter, full of thorns and with large arms.

Color change sounds good, and should certainly work for my Dead-Hulk. I suggest a slightly darker hue, and in the case of multiple items, that's slightly darker for each one held.
And for that other dude's name, how about Thorns Beast? That would also give a feel of it being related to the ordinary beast, just for flavour.
TFoN:
Name: Bloodworm
Character used: '.'
Strength: good
Dexterity: good
Speed: fair
Attack type: melee
Special abilities: none :)
EDIT: weeell, maybe it should have the ability to change into ':' and '%' when it enters such a tile. But that took the sting out of the "none", didn't it?
EDIT II: ah, no, I got it: code-wise it will be iconless, but turn the tile it's standing on red. That'll take care of all types of ground, and it'll simply turn red blood red again.
TFoN:
I'll every once in a while go into the Wizards of the Coast website for inspiration from the art gallaries.
This one's based directly on a certain illustration (I'd love to know if mine's anything like their's :P ):
Name: Crawling Head
Description: a formerly human head! It used to have a body, but the over-confident wizard that was it claimed his head's enough to deal with anything. Then he died, went to hell; now that's all he has. Apparently this happens quite often.
Strength: poor
Dexterity: poor
Speed: fair
Attack type: melee
Special abilities: our wizards discover all too late that they could use the extra buff a body serves for. Although normally the forces of hell give no quarter, this is war, and as is war, they'll make exceptions for those hard workers. A Crawling Head can attach itself to another monster, which loses its [original] head, that shrivels up and dies. This done, it not only increases the monster's intelligence (that'll matter if varying types/degrees of AI'll be implemented), but it also regains some of its arcane capacity - *if* the new body has the limbs for it. Also, such a head'll have little respect for the body of another (some will never learn...), so if pain'll be implemented in monsters, it will have a lesser effect on the reheaded.
There is little danger for the char, however, of being beheaded by these nasty bastards: they're rather slow moving for one thing, but they are also demonic in essence, and require a demonic host for such a purely physical possession.
Behaviour: as heads they're rather skittish and nervous little rodents. Only the most foolhardy or panicked among them will attack a character directly, as although their mouths're disgusting and diseased, there's little immediate effect in a bite. They are most likely to avoid the char until they may possess a useful body. Once they've done this, they will regain their former arrogance and charge with all their might, brute force and arcane power alike.
TFoN:
I should note that if anyone here other than Kornel wants to use [some of] my ideas, or has requests for new ones, go ahead - just let me know where it's going, first.
I've beasts aplenty and they want food and warm homes :)
