I votes for... Dragon

But a small one

Ooze

I don't think I've seen many oozes used as story important villains...

It's called Juiblex. Or Ghaunadaur.

Giant in the Playground!

Ooze

Owrtho

I shall second the vote for Giant. You don't see giant's used well as important adversaries. They're usually a mid-level antagonist, used once or twice, & then discarded for the rest of the campaign. I'd like to see a more formidable giant villain, rather than another XP-kleenex.

I'm voting for Giant as well as I've seen plenty of dragons and fey recently.

Debby

Here's another one for Giant. They really need to see more play.

Yeah, I also vote for Giant.

Elelemenemenemenental

The fey were, admittedly, partially my fault. :smallbiggrin: See prior thread.

eh OOOOOOOOze

Giant, if only to shut up the fanbase for them :p

You can't tell me an Ooze villain wouldn't be awesome :smallbiggrin:

Oh, sure I can. Just you watch me. :smallamused:

Begone, foul heretic! Begone!

I wouldn't mind Giant, either, but so far, I've seen more competent giants than Oozes, which is why for Ooze my vote shall remain.

Though my heart goes for ooze, I'll vote for giant, for we've never had a giant in these contests.

Giant, it seems appropriate, and should be a bit different than most of the villians/creatures made in these contests.

Will we truly have a Giant in the Playground? Voting closes at 0000 EST and will decide our fate.... muahahahahaha

Aberrant villain for me. I just think of Cthulu, and the sinister mind flayers breeding thrall slaves and dominating a small town.

Giant! And for added fun, add Soda!

I vote Giant! I've wanted it both times previously.

Zack

While I have time I shall cast a vote in vain for undead!

The votes have been tallied!

We shall indeed finally have a Giant in the Playground!

Now, please vote for the giant's Race. Standard rules apply. As if I don't know how this one's gonna turn out...

Cloud Giant, because its my favorite type! I love them. Favorite villians.

I say unique (humanoid)

Unique (Monstrous)

Owrtho

Cloud Giant for me.

Fire Giants seems to me to be the most overtly villainous of the giant varieties, as well as one of the more cunning & "with-it".
