[CountD]

I votes for... Dragon

But a small one

[rayne_dragon]

Ooze

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

[afroakuma]

It's called Juiblex. Or Ghaunadaur.

[streakster]

Giant in the Playground!

[Owrtho]

Ooze

Owrtho

[Zeta Kai]

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.

[Debihuman]

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

Debby

[insecure]

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

[KingGolem]

Yeah, I also vote for Giant.

[thegurullamen]

Elelemenemenemenental

[afroakuma]

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

[puppyavenger]

eh OOOOOOOOze

[Lord_Gareth]

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

[Zordrath]

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

[Zeta Kai]

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

Oh, sure I can. Just you watch me.

[Zordrath]

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.

[Pronounceable]

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

[Reverent-One]

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

[afroakuma]

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

[Belkarsbadside1]

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

[Copacetic]

Giant! And for added fun, add Soda!

[Lyndworm]

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

Zack

[blackspeeker]

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

[afroakuma]

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...

[Archangel Yuki]

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

[blackspeeker]

I say unique (humanoid)

[Owrtho]

Unique (Monstrous)

Owrtho

[Shades of Gray]

Cloud Giant for me.

[Zeta Kai]

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".
