Anonymous10/18/25, 12:59No.967811525 Favorite Beasts, Monsters and Mobs
The only rule is you have to be specific about what you like. You can't just say "I like Dragons." You have to say what kinda of or franchises Dragon you like.
For me it's
>Myrddraal and Trollocs from Wheel Of Time
Trollocs are like Tolkien Orcs but actually big and scary while Fades are Nazghul but more common and kill able. They are scary but not so strong it becomes impossible to defeat them
>Goblins From Spiderwick
These are the Goblins I grew up with, the frog monsters who are dumb as a rock and eat anything and everything they see. I fucking love them, I hate the green little big noses rapists that most goblins are made to be.
>Hungry Horse Kings From Re:Zero
Headless Centaurs with a giant mouth on their stomach which screams like a babies cry. They also can manipulate fire and regenerate? Absolute peak horror.
>Dragons from Tolkien's verse
Smart, sly, scheming and powerful. Mixed with their history with Morgoth and Glaurung they're the blue print of modern fantasy Dragons.
>Giant Animals King Kong
Okay this is kinda cheating but I love when normal sized Animals are just made Giant. I think One Piece does this well but so do other series. I a tiger that's the size of a house? Or a rabbit who skips causes earth quakes? Peak fun.

>Dragons, scaly, slimy, evil, slightly deformed, intelligent, maybe even sickly
Not sure if any media gets close to it, maybe this pic.
>Vampires, predatory, rotten, inhuman in mind, malicious, degenerate
Again, I don't really know many that do this properly.
>Goblins, short, varied in appearance and theme, idiotic, clownish, spiteful
Maybe the Labyrinth with a dash of Spiderwick?
>Zombies, ravenous, frantic, near-mindless, desperate, determined
Maybe 28 Days Later?
>Wizards, eccentric, absent-minded, unconventional, moments of wisdom, optimistic
Not really many close examples I can think of, but more like the Cheshire Cat.

>skeletons
a classic and endless alterations, warrior, archer, mage, burning, giant, and much more.
>krakens
beeg octopus grabbing you from below the dark waters? every single player is getting thallasophobia
>giant animals
OP has good taste
>mimics
just like skeletons, classic and loads of variations
>dragons
so long as its big as fuck and can fly, anything more than is mostly fine, but anything less is not a dragon

I like
>Brutal, monstrous, industrious, logistically capable and disciplined fascists
Like 5e Hobgoblins, Tolkien and Warcraft (2012; Garrosh's) Orcs, GW Charr.
>Evil dwarves, in brass and crimson
Honourable mention, for being everything but monstrous.

Orcs, trolls and goblins from Rankin and Bass hobbit/RoTK movies. They just look so cool.
Giant spiders from Rankin and Bass hobbit. They scared the shit out of me as a kid.

>Goblins From classic TTRPGs/Goblin Slayer
I am talking about classic shortstack evil fucks that raided and rape any chance they get.
>Vampires from Masquerade
I like the idea of vampires hiding and controlling their own people due to their rules and knowing if they out themselves everyone will hunt them down and wipe them out like in Shiki.
>Zombies, Wights, Liches and other undead.
Who doesn't love wiping hoards of undead in their games.
>Bandits, and Raiders
Other Human bandits or orc and other races. The classic raiders and bandits attacking villages and towns are always fun to stop and clear out.
>Mad Wizards, Witch Covens, or Evil Warlocks
The classic evil caster often kidnapping kids, needing souls or just letting their magical creatures have at the humans that live near them so people needing to clear out a old castle or tower filled with traps, monsters and evil magic is the classic basic adventure.

I quite like trollocs, though I'm just as fond of beastmen from WHF. I like the vibe of a race that is evil but doomed and knows it, and their freakish varieties are simply more fun than 'person, but ugly and short' as with Tolkien orcs.

>Hags
Classic folklore witches like Baba Yaga who are ugly, powerful, fun and can be "helpful" for a price
>Undead in a bog
Inspired my lotr movies, bog mummies bronze aged soldiers and such. I just love bogs and mires
>Gnomes
Mix of newer red hatted creatures and classic Finnish folklore. Can be helpful and jolly, unpredictable and if you piss them off your cattle, wife, children and you will be dead
>basilisks
I like them as large chicken dinosaurs with snake tails, similar to classic depictions and also a bit like dungeon meshi.
>drowners, nixies, näcken
Ugly, greenish blue, like bogs and dark lakes. Easy to kill if you know how and see them, deadly if not prepared.
I like my stuff as mud core mixed with colourful fantasy

>mephits
Not the d&d kind, more like spren from stormlight archive. Just little elemental spirits that go about doing thir thing.
>elementals
Full fledged and quite powerful spirits, like the furies from codex alera.
>quetzalcoatl
Not the god, just regular feathered snakes. They're danger noodles but fluffy, what's not to love?
>sky whales
Sky whales.
>dementors
But only because myrddraal was already taken. I never read past book 4 of WOT, but like in HP I love how there's never really an explanation given for wtf these mf are.
>goblins, á la Tolkien
Orcs, essentially, as they originally were without any of the noble savage barbarian stuff. More of a chaotic military force that has to be herded like cats.
