I can just imagine putting a giant variant of this in an adventure...:grin:

"The GM hates us guys, he's making nonsensical animals to TPK us, why oh why:shade:?!?"

I feel like the average monster I unleash on my players are substantially worse than a giant two-tailed scorpion, though I guess my games are more towards the horror genre

I was comparing it with many D&D games, not with yours, which I'm regretfully unfamiliar with:thumbsup:.


For comparison purposes, what are you unleashing on them:devil:?

Too early here: I read that as "patriarchal" thornbush...(even scarier, maybe more on brand)

That's ok I read it as...

"um, most recently I was the bloated corpse of a drowned obese grandmother animated by a sentient parasitical thornbush."

Then I took a second look, thought I need more coffee because obviously Tristram wasn't a recently bloated corpse of a drowned obese grandmother animated by a sentient parasitical thornbush.... Right? Right?!

Interesting variant of the Dead Internet Theory.

So a standard B-movie squicker zombie. Not something like a Slannesh Gundam with a dildo cannon and hentai tentacles attack.

I generally steer clear of sexual violence in games. But no, not an "atypical Zombie", unless your atypical zombies sprouts razor sharp vines and fights like a combination of Doctor Octopus crossed with Pinhead from Hellraiser, while swallowing ensnared victims whole with a massive maw fleshcrafted from the skin of the bloated corpse's stomach and chest, the ribs splayed open like teeth.

Ah, much better imagry than the initial generic dead granny with random vines trailing behind it impression.
 
It's time for your reminder that all aquatic mammals like whales and dolphins are descended from land animals that decided to return to the sea.

Are those edible? The critters I mean. Not the campers.

If they are edible, that seems amazingly convenient.

They look like coconut crabs, so yeah you can eat em.

"A popular internet meme suggests that Amelia Earhart crash-landed on Nikumaroro and her remains were rapidly consumed by coconut crabs on the island.[63][64][65] However, as no evidence of Earhart's plane has been found on or near Nikumaroro, this theory is generally discredited by historians.[66][67]"

From the wiki link.
 
I remember watching a news segment that showed how coconut crab swarms hunted birds. At night on crab would climb up a tree, clip the wings of the sleeping bird so that it would fall to the ground where the hungry crabs waiting.

It was the stuff of nightmares.
