Re: Vote Up a Monster #1
Vermin (Water, Extraplanar)
“Sometimes, immersed in his books, there would come to him
the awareness of all that he did not know, of all that he had not read;
and the serenity for which he labored was shattered as he realized the
little time he had in life to read so much, to learn what he had to know.”
~Stoner, John Williams~

All votes are tallied so far. Keep it coming. I'll keep the Type/Subtype part open for a while longer, just to get a few definitive winners.

Re: Vote Up a Monster #1
Alright, the votes are completely tallied, & the winner is:
Aberration (Extraplanar, Shapechanger)!
So, the creature is going to be an Aberration, with the Extraplanar & Shapechanger subtypes. This sounds like it's going to be an interesting one. So next, I need you guys (& girls) to vote on the creature's Size. Votes will be tallied regularly. Please only vote for 1 size, thank you.

Re: Vote Up a Monster #1
Going out on a limb with my train of thought here. If this thing's an shapechanger, it may well be able to take many forms, so whatever size we choose here will probably be its "base form," right? Also known as: whatever the PCs will fight as the final fight, if this guy makes it as a BBEG.
Ergo, it needs to be something appropriately epic. I vote Huge.
