    Default Island of Misfit Monsters

    Hi all!

    I'm looking for ideas for a module I'm working on. I need some ideas for Misfit Monsters, like the Island of Misfit Toys. To give you an idea of what I'm looking for, here are some ideas I have so far:

    - World's largest hafling (just a regular guy)
    - A blind beholder
    - A calzone golem (I stole this)
    - A were-bunny
    - An extremely ugly nymph
    - A harpy/siren with a terrible voice
    - A tiny titan
    - A reverse mermaid/centaur (bottom half human legs, top half fish/horse)

    Any input is appreciated!

    A minocentaur! Half minotaur, half centaur. That is, a random horse with a bull's head.

    A carrion crawler with ingrown tentacles.

    A colorblind mimic who turns into garishly colored chairs and can never figure out why people catch on.

    A bonsai treant.

    A germophobic otyugh.

    A cyclops pirate. Yes, with an eyepatch.

    I've always thought about a half-minotaur, half-mermaid, where the poor creature has the top half of a mermaid and the bottom half of a minotaur.

    So, in other words, they look human.
