The Swirly Deeps? What kind of Monster?

Featured Replies

I was trolling in the "history of the aerie" and I found an old topic i started long ago, and I thought that since there was so much new blood here that it might be interesting to bring up the topic again.

My query was:

 

If you were wamphyri, what kind of evil monsters would you breed/turn in your aerie (or countryside villa, in the case of Yulian grin.gif )? I must say i'm still quite partial to vasagi's carpet monsters, and I'd love to see the outcome of an enthralled ferret...

I've taken the liberty of copying the link for you Amarfa so that people can see what you came up with last time...

 

I personally would experiment with women's lady bits and have little vagina beasties flopping around and massive big huge pairs of bouncing breasts dotted around my aerie smile.gif oh yeah!!!!

 

Please feel free to edit me as the imagery may be a little much for some people...... ;)

Location would make all the different. If I were on Starside then having heavily armored warriors would be a must. I think I would experiment with some more dexterious, stealthy, assassin creatures and/or thralls as well because brute strength is only good for so much. And carpet monsters would be nice to have laying around too.

 

On Earth however remaining hidden is the name of the game. I think I would go Radu's route and get some female thralls. Go for the deceptively innocent yet deadly. Being close to the Great Smoky Mountains I would have to entrall a pair of black bears. I can only imagine how powerful those bodyguards would be. And squirrels, an army of squirrels would be a must.

Bum Bats would have no place in my Aerie unless they were fit women's derrieres!!!

And even then I'd dump (poor choice of word) the creepy bat wings and maybe use them as cushions and pillows on my huge vaginal bed…

:cool:

 

I think I may have gone too far now and I'm going to stop, anybody else have any ideas???

Tops, you need help, Man. grin.gif Bum Bats indeed!!

What about crossing a bat with a Trog and splicing together a Bog Monster? Cool! :eek: There'd have to be Some Kind Of Monster (couldn't resist, sorry - for those of u into REAL music!!) to deal with the refuse from that one alone!! tongue.gif

helm, it's true, you go too far with the bed idea... although I can think of making that idea better (or wronger) for comedy value, but wont.

 

I may need help, but anyone who wants to sleep in a bed make of large genitalia is surely more messed up than myself.

Ain't nobody more messed up than me :eek: - I think .... or something! But Helm's idea sounds a little too close for comfort!!!!!! Good, I grant, but a little too close. Imagine all those teeth and chittin what nots?!! Brrrrr. blush.gif

I would have to use an octopus as the basis for most of my creations, simply because it can literally become invisible (search google or youtube.com for some amazing videos).

 

With the exception of a few intimidating warriors, most of my creatures would be octopi-based, free flowing, and engineered for fluidity. Why bother hacking another warrior to death, when one could simply, in the manner of a Wamphyri egg, flow THROUGH the warrior, snip away at the brain and heart, and immobilize it so I could feed MY warriors and other creatures after the battle? Another creature I'd build, based on the color-changing idea, would be the mobile map. Flat, self-mobile, and extremely psychically sensitive, it would take topological information from my scouts' minds, and make them visible to myself and senior lieutenants for better strategy. A non-mobile variation of this could be used in-house as a map for new recruits.

 

I'd also create creatures for a seige. Able to live off honey, grain, and offal, they would serve as a food source for the stack during a seige, and the wastes could fuel corbel chutes. It would also have a slow metabolism, so that while it would take a while to mature to any usable size, the food requirements for it would be negigible day-by-day.

As to 'THE HELM'S' sleeping quarters, already been done, can't remember which book or lord off the top of my head, but remember it being done. Brain beat you to it. LOL.

 

As to why I'm remember that 'READ MY SIGNATURE THINGY'

 

At to 'BITE ME' warriors already described as octopuslike, with propuserers etc.

Like the idea of the map creature, scouts invariably bats 'demucus' or whatever. So description would still have to come via your own mind, Or you could just build up a map like Maglore the Mage did in Turogesium.

 

Pesonally like Vasagi's rugs monsters. Can keep feet warm or devour them.... nice.

Is it wrong to know approximately where to turn to in Deadspawn (pg 486 U.S.) to find "The Helm"'s sleeping quarters?

 

It was Lord Magula.

Vasagi's rug monsters? Can't get this picture outta my head of the big orange monster in Bugs Bunny. The one set in the castle with the mad scientist. Heh heh heh. smile.gif

OH Chris, what are you doing to me, now I've got that picture in my head.

 

Have to get rid of that image, Vasagi's Rug Monster BIG and ORANGE with BIG BLUE eye's.

You have to admit, it really is quite a striking image, isn't it? smile.gifsmile.gif

Not one to speak ill of the recently departed, but that Stingray (The Swirly Depths - what kind of monster indeed) sure has some weaponry on it. Can you imagine being struck by a behemoth about 30 times the size? It doesn't bear thinking about!! RIP Steve Irwin. :(
