I just kind of felt like slapping some absurd ideas together in the form of mob ideas. Maybe some of these will be useful or interesting. I'd imagine most of these would only be good for a Rogue-like game, but who knows, this could be interesting...
Mob Ideas:
Mob Ideas:
- Non-Newtonian Slime
Non-Newtonian matter is used in bullet proofing. It's a liquid substance that hardens negating any kinetic energy put into it. Basically put, this is a slime that would be immune or highly resistant to physical damage and some forms of magical damage depending on the nature of the magic. - Ironwood Golem
Ironwood is a very dense, very heavy, generally petroleum saturated wood. Between weight and density it would take a long time to burn, then with the core of the wood containing veins of fuel for fire, this could be a very ugly "wood" type golem to light up. Ironwood already weighs far more than your average wood being better compared to rock for weight and hardness (it was used at points in place of steel and iron for blunt weaponry to give you some idea as to its potential). So imagine for a moment a giant lumbering harder and heavier than normal wood golem, that is on fire, and doesn't give a shit. - Lodestone Golem
This isn't you average metal or stone golem you're going to need to chip away at... It has electromagnetic properties modifying its resistances, and going up against it in full plate armor might be the last thing you ever do... If nothing else, this could be the quickest strip fest a fully armored knight will ever experience. Hope you didn't invest too much into your defence! - Micah Golems
Micah is normally a very flaky and light rock, partially transparent, but also more flexible than your average rock. It's one of the few rocks you can split at the edge of a formation with a fingernail and peel up like a brittle piece of film. While I'd imagine a Micah Golem might be more flimsy than average, this could actually be advantageous defensively, and could be painful offensively. Golems are already something you don't want to punch or get close to, but this is a golem that might respond very violently to explosive spells, or blunt weaponry... hitting this golem from the wrong angle with a warhammer or a battering ram might be about as smart as slamming a frag grenade with a hammer... - Angler Succubus
Most everyone knows what a succubus is (demon that steals souls or energy via sexual interaction), and most everyone knows what an angler fish is (fish that uses light to attract its prey). So why combine the two? You're in a dark dungeon, and you see a hot naked chick and a light source (keeping in mind it's a pain in the butt to see a naked chick without light...)... That right there might be the only explanation you need. For everyone else who is in to this sort of thing, vore might be an optional addition. - Lodestone Electric Eel or Jellyfish
It's an electrical water based creator, and if it's magically enchanted it may not need the water part to be near you... And we've strapped a magnet on to it... Hope you're not wearing heavy armor!! - Radioactive Golem (Uranium, Tungesten, etc.)
Super dense golem that poisons you via radiation just by being near it, regardless of whether or not its even alive anymore. Let's all form a nope train and get the hell away from it! - "Frog Skeleton"
Raise your hand if you knew there was a frog that would break a bone in its foot to create a spear as a defensive measure. If you didn't, you can now raise you hand, you know it exists now. Now picture a skeleton that is willing to break off chunks of itself to throw at you or impale you with in melee combat. Not scary enough? Read the next monster type. - "Glass/Crystaline Frog Skeleton"
You read "Frog Skeleton's" description, right? Well this is one that is prone to fragmenting. If it explodes or is hit with high force, you're talking about massive shards going everywhere. - Lego Slime and Lego Golem
Part joke, part serious. Ever step on a lego? If so, you know exactly what kind of nightmare this could be. If not, DO NOT EVER STEP ON A LEGO, IT HURTS LIKE HELL!! - The Corpse Eater Slime
Imagine seeing a dead body surrounded in a pool of blood that looks like it's coagulating and drying. Now imagine that the blood starts moving and is actually a highly resistant slime with a massive amount of regeneration, and that it might in fact have vampiric capabilities. This fight is going to suck. - "Another Reason to Hate Clowns"
You're wandering around town, you see a clown, most people already don't like clowns. You notice it has some cracks in its makeup, no big deal. Then you realize last second that it's actually a giant vore doing a jack-in-the-box special as it pops out of the clown's face in a fashion reminiscent of the movie "alien" and is trying to bite your head off, literally. ALL ABOARD THE NOPE TRAAAAAAAAAIN~! - Skin mold/slime
After so many years of performing first aid and studying it, you see a lot of weird medical anomalies that will both gross you out and make you wonder... In this instance, that might not actually be leprosy, but a mold or slime doing "The Voldemort" by camping out on someone else's face. - Baby Slimes
I'd personally be scared as hell of waterfalls in dungeons in a fictional world. Most people would call me nuts. I'd say they haven't really thought about all the different shapes, sizes, and types of ugly slimes might come in. You say water, I say that could be thousands of baby slimes pouring through a crack in the wall. You think your clothes are wet? I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going, and enough horror movies to hope it's not going the other way. - Space Mimics
Mimics have screwed us over for ages by pretending to be doors, chests, hot attractive women, or a pile of gold. Now imagine if a mimic could imitate your voice in such a way you thought it was an echo, and could create the illusion a room is bigger than it actually is. You say "this cavern is huge", I say "screw you, I'm still throwing a rock" - "Asshole" mimics
You're wandering down a trail, on foot, this sucks, your feet hurt, you've got sand in places you never though possible, this sucks... Oh look, a car. You get in, you start driving, and suddenly your front left tire craps out and you crash into a tree. You're stunned, you're in pain, this sucks more, and suddenly you realize your left tire wasn't really a left tire. This SUCKS. The bottom line is that this isn't your average mimic. This could be your tent, your knapsack... The point is it's something interactive that you need that you weren't really expecting to be a mimic. An example is as follows... - Health potion slime
Gee, you're really hurt, and I mean REALLY hurt. Oh, look, a perfectly inviting health potion simply laying on the ground. That is exactly what you- FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU - Map Mimic
Time for another mimic. You find a map in a dungeon, it looks pretty useful. Suddenly, however, you're a lot more confused and lost than you were before, you're finding yourself being ambushed around the clock and every room you enter is getting nastier and nastier. You keep checking your map, and you're pretty sure you're going mad because you could swear it looks nothing like it did a minute ago. Whoever made this map was a dick! Speaking of which, where the hell did all of your rations go..? - Ultimate Mimic
This is the last actual mimic, I swear. Imagine you entered a dungeon and it turned out the whole fricken thing was one big mimic. Congratulations, your adventure ended the moment it began - you're already dinner. - Asbestos Golem
It laughs at your puny flame, it scoffs are your attempts to slay it, and every hit produces a dust cloud that makes breathing painful... Even if you win this fight, even if you manage to make a really nifty flame resistant suit out of its hide, you're still going to ultimately lose the war as it kills you a few years later through your lungs. Should have opted for freezing or dissolving it! - Base Slime
Ok, so acid slimes are bad news, right? They burn, they dissolve you and eat away at your armor... So why would I suggest Base slimes? Simple, bases are still toxic/poisonous and function in a similar regard to acids despite being basically the opposite. In fact, bases might even feel nice, cooling, soothing, slippery, or harmless - despite the fact that they're still eating away at you. Don't like a base slime and cast an acid spell on it? Congratulations, you now have a regular slime you still have to deal with, all you did was neutralize the chemical imbalance. Also, yanno how you can normally dissolve a slime, especially a pesky acid slime, and it doesn't usually result in a negative side effect? Most bases when dissolved or heated up create toxic clouds... You have fun with that one. - Septic Golem
That's right, I went there. Your sewers already smelled "lively" enough as is, and now the putrid sludge is moving. Water spells only weaken them, fire spells result in toxic fumes, acid spells may only make them stronger and will have a limited effect, cold spells only slow them down or put their reign of terror on hold, blunt weapons are useless, projectiles just stick out like a sore thumb, bladed weapons get stuck and absorbed never to be seen again... It's non-newtonian, it reeks, you think you're going to pass out, it's a matter of time before you throw up adding to its numbers, and you're pretty sure your deity hates you now. Better hope you didn't toss anything radioactive or magical down there, or he just got an enchantment modifier to boot. Rage quitting is starting to sound pretty nice right about now - let's hope this thing can't follow you to the afterlife. - Liquid Oxygen Golem
Simply touching liquid oxygen may cause a massive chunk of your body (such as your arm) to flash freeze and shatter the instant you move. I just suggested making it into a golem. Now might be a good time to question this list. - Mirror Golem
It's the hall of mirrors on two legs and its running you down. It makes you look fat and skinny at the same time, your ugly mug perfectly warped by its many facets. Projectiles will have a diminished effect, bludgeoning it might result in painful consequences, fire and acid will be more effective, but good luck slapping a decent spell across it and getting it to stick. Pair with gorgons for absolute hell to break loose. - Blind Gorgon
So much for fighting fire with fire. - Troll Turkey
The Belmont family is historically amongst the most ballsy. They enter a castle full of the undead and eat chicken they find lying around IN THE WALLS. Common sense need not apply. Now add in to that equation the prospect of them accidentally eating part of a troll. Ever watch the movie "Alien"? - Plastic and Rubber Golem
This might sound silly, but there's a really good reason why this is a bad idea. Fire spells will result in toxic fumes... Depending on the grade or type of the plastic/ the rubber/both, blunt and bladed weapons are basically going to be useless and might actually get stuck in its hide or bounce back in your face causing it to counter your attack, with your attack... Acid spells might actually allow it to absorb materials nearby, will result in toxic fumes, and/or may actually do largely nothing at all if the rubber and/or plastic is of the appropriate grade/type... Water spells are utterly worthless, you'd pretty much just clean it and look like an utter dolt. Electrical spells, on rubber or plastic? Yeah, uhm... Good luck with that one. Hopefully you can unsommon or inflict straight up magical damage, or this fight is going to suck hardcore... - Freudian Imp
Everyone has secrets, everyone has faults, and there are some things nobody like admitting to even themselves. Now picture a hellspawn that can easily hide, easily follow, easily observe, and now also easily analyze everything about you. By the time you see it eye to eye, it probably already can demoralize your entire party and possible make at least one of you break down crying in a corner. Better hope this D&D didn't go Jumanji on your ass, or this is going to be one hell of a round... - Freudian Succubus
For those of you who have forgotten that succubi and incubi also appeal to the nightmarish end of your fetishes you never wished to acknowledge or feed into, there's this. Like the Freudian Imp, it uses psychology to screw with you - only this time the screwing part is more literal, and a hell of a lot more uncomfortable. Nothing is going to make your teammates question your ability to lead than rounding the corner to see a succubus roleplaying/disguised as your grandmother - or at least nothing they're in any hurry to find out about. - Cyclops Centipede
If you know your Greek/Roman mythology, the cyclops was a giant or half giant with one eye that could hurl massive boulders. If you think about it biologically, this can both be amplified, and on its own can be a health problem long term for the cyclops (heavy lifting and hurling is bad for the back.). Picture a giant covered in body plates with multiple arms like tree branches that can hurl multiple boulders at a time without straining itself and can move at incredible speeds. On second thought investing in life insurance wasn't such a bad idea... - Magic absorbing slime
Nothing ticks off a magic based character quicker than something immune to all forms of magic... Now what happens if you make something that's not only immune but can absorb and dish out magical damage in return. Do not mix with the non-newtonian slime or you will never have friends again. - Oxidation and/or rust slime (potentially magnetic)
A friend suggested this one. It comes in contact with something metal and starts eating away at it. This could be utter hell for metal golems or anyone wearing heavy armor. - Beatbox Pest/Magpie
Now some people would read this as a pest that follows you around making beatbox riffs like a rapper or a boombox. What I'm implying actually happens is that it makes various noises at random intervals adding to your annoyance level. You're walking along, you hear a loud fart, you look at your teammate. You keep walking, you swear you heard someone swearing under their breath, you're getting annoyed. You step in something, you hear someone laughing, this shit isn't funny anymore. Next thing you know your character gets confused and/or aggravated and decks another teammate, and it's on. Meanwhile this little pest is just sitting back in a corner watching, waiting for someone to get knocked out so it can steal loot or grab some dinner. It's like have a perpetual 2 year old strapped to your ass. - Demon Parrots
A friend of mine suggested that a room full of synchronized and asynchronized demonic voices that confuse and frighten your party would be another interesting encounter, in addition to annoying to kill - Pheromone or sexual excretion slime/golem
For the weak in the pants (or potentially strong willed if the monster is effective enough) hero, a slime or golem made entirely, or partially, out of sexual "juices" and pheromones. Super effective against heroes with groin plating... - Dungeon Cleaner
Most people miss out on thinking of the dungeon cleaner, especially as a mob. In some older games something would always go around cleaning up the messes left behind from previous crusades. Sometimes it's a giant slime, sometimes it's a rolling wheel with spikes that takes up the width and height of the corridors, sometimes it's a bunch of smaller monsters picking things clean, sometimes it's a magical barrier or forcefield, and yet other times it's some "cthulhian" terror (I hate Lovecraft as a writer to note, so I dislike referring to things as being related to Cthulhu or Lovecraft. Very long winded explanation most people wouldn't care to listen to so moving on.). Bottom line is, something is always behind you in a dungeon cleaning up the mess you left behind. So what happens if you're too slow, took a wrong turn, or get left behind? - Ethereal mobs
Ethereal has a vague set of definitions... From being weaved from ether, to being trapped between dimensions, the general connotation is "this shit is hard to hit." Sometimes ghosts are described as being ethereal, and sometimes so is armor or weaponry. The bottom line is that this isn't something you completely understand, and its properties are beyond weird. So what the hell is your reaction supposed to be when you see a giant red glowing semi-transparent golem that looks like it's made out of black metal thorns? Suddenly you're not entirely certain this is the dungeon you were looking for, or that you've got what it takes to beat this thing until you either do... or utterly fail and everyone laughs at you! - Portrait Creeper
If you've watched harry potter, you've seen the people that can go from one painting to another. Let's take that out of harry potter and flop that into a game situation... That's a lot of possibilities...
