For reference, here are previous and current contests listed in chronological order. Also, Zeta's idea still rocks. Which is why I'm stealing it. Again.

You may notice that Shapechanger and Mount are no longer votable options. This is because I don't want another one. Please refrain from voting for these.

Also, Minion has been removed. If you really want a minion, just apply the minion math to the result of this contest. I don't want to spend a week on a VUAM only to have the resulting monster have a sum total of 1 hp.
EDIT: New vote added! By popular demand, the fourth Vote will be for Tier, followed by a fifth for level.

[streakster]

Fey Humanoid, my good sir.

[Zeta Kai]

Great subtitle, SE. I wish I'd thought of it.

As for the critter, my vote goes to Immortal Beast. I'm not sure why, but that combo just appeals to me.

[puppyavenger]

Abberent Beast

[Shadow_Elf]

votes tallied.

EDIT:

Great subtitle, SE. I wish I'd thought of it.

Thanks. I think I mentioned it in Vote Up a monster #2.

[KKL]

Immortal Beast's the most interesting, so why not.

[RTGoodman]

I'm going with Aberrant Humanoid.

[Lyndworm]

I'ma go with Immortal Beast.

Zack

[Tuataralad]

Yay, another 4e vote up a monster. I'll go with shadow beast.

[Pronounceable]

I'm going with the more savage option of aberrant beast.

[Vadin]

Because I've never seen one, Aberrant Humanoid.

[Mando Knight]

Immortal Magical Beast

[Alteran]

Aberrant Beast.

[Baxter190]

Fey and humanoid

[Blue Ghost]

Fey Humanoid gets my vote.

[Reverent-One]

Shadow beast

[Shadow_Elf]

Votes Tallied. This vote will end sometime tonight.

[Dracomortis]

Votes Tallied. This vote will end sometime tonight.

In that spirit: aberrant beast.

[Shadow_Elf]

The votes have been tallied and the winner is...

Aberrant Beast! (by quite a bit) Okay, so now I'd like you all to go ahead and vote on this creature's Subtype. You can vote for two subtypes max. Remember, please Bold your votes.
Reminder: Shapechanger and Mount are not options this time around.

[Zeta Kai]

Well, I'm tempted to vote for Swarm, just out of vile spite. But I'll be benevolent & reasonable... I vote for Living Construct!

[Shadow_Elf]

Well, I'm tempted to vote for Swarm, just out of vile spite. But I'll be benevolent & reasonable... I vote for Living Construct!

You can have your Living Construct and eat your Swarm too! You get two subtype votes around these parts. 'Cause I don't get as many voters as you do....

It's not you, SE, I'm sure. It's probably just your edition. Zing!

[Vadin]

Swarm and Homonculous.

Because those evil wizards at the end of low-level dungeons never have good enough side-kicks.

Also, perhaps you should add in a Tier vote before a level vote? Just a thought, so voters could judge about where they might want the monster to end up before deciding on an exact level.

[Dracomortis]

Very rarely do I see a post and agree with everything in it. I therefore double the vote for Swarm and Homunculus subtypes.

[Zeta Kai]

I second the proposal for a separate Tier vote. I almost wish 3E had level tiers.

[Mewtarthio]

I'll put in another vote for Swarm and... how about Plant?

And I third the motion for a tier vote. Just to narrow things down a bit, y'know?

[Reverent-One]

Homunculus and Living Construct.

[rayne_dragon]

I'll add in antoher vote for swarm and homunculus

[puppyavenger]

swarm, living construct

[RTGoodman]

I'm not feeling that many of the options, so I'm just going to vote for one subtype. (You said up to two, so I assume that's okay.) I'm casting my ballot for Blind.
