A surprising monster ommission

[Fran]

I think there were some rusalkas in DnD at some point but I could be mistaken. But I'm more puzzled about this:

There is not a single class with a bow or another ranged weapon in the whole game.

I'd say that's even more of a staple

And skellies are a big no-no in China even if it's just an overshigt. They used to have separate MtG art for cards depicting skelletons. If you're looking to sell anything over there at any point, skellies are out.

There's also the whole "WOW skeletons suddenly grow flesh" thing, which later turned out to be self-censorship on the licensing company's part, since they don't want to risk government censorship.

Nonetheless, those were about the only two instances I've ever heard about such thing. Most stuffs on Steam are available in China anyway.

I would think undead, low health, magic resistance. Maybe the opposite of cowardly, advancing toward the player whenever you hit / kill an enemy.

I want an enemy that explodes when killed, dealing damage to you and any adjacent enemies.

Explosion should be an interesting mechanism...especially with knockbacks and whatnot. Though it doesn't fit Skeleton's theme very well.

Speaking of which, DD Zombies are the toughest Zombies I've ever seen. They have higher health (staple attribute in fantasy setting), higher damage (not very common) and absolutely no drawbacks. Sure they don't have special abilities either, but cannon fodder they are not.

No, they have 100% (normal) damage.

Skeletons (v. 2.0) should be this: Revives into a weaker (-1 level) or same level (unsure) version of itself, first strike, undead, 120% attack, and 80% hp. Sort of like an undead goblin with revives, but less hp.

Lore! Fun!

First came across a Rusalka in Quest For Glory IV. That series always had really cool lore references.

Nice check on the Tokoloshe.

Also, I was really really excitedly thinking that someone would mention a different monster omission while I was loading this thread

I have to say, I do like the esoteric enemy types. Nothing wrong with goblins or whatever, but it's neat seeing something I haven't encountered elsewhere.

...Nandrew, is it rabbits?

edit: never mind, if rabbits were an enemy, my wife wouldn't play it anymore

Basilisks? Wurms? Wolves? Orcs (as a monster)? I probably should know this...

[harfatum]

There's already a lich boss, right? And ogres? I don't recall any ghosts or elementals...

[The Avatar]

Ha! Ogres and liches! There's wraiths.

[Fran]

Bugs, maybe?

15 characters ftw

This is the most amazing idea!

Imagine a whole map of enemies that slowly move one step closer to you whenever you kill an enemy.


Like the ghosts from Mario, only scarier
