Title: [The Coyote Lode] I Need Monsters! Post by: Troy_Costisick on April 17, 2012, 04:25:03 AM Heya,
Im continuing to work on my Game Chef game. I started with ten monsters, but I need more. I especially need "boss" monsters, you know, things bigger and badder than your run of the mill undead or giant bat. Anyone have any good suggestions for monsters that might fit the Old-West Horror genre of the Coyote Lode? Just so you dont have to read the whole game, here's what the game chef draft has right now: Undead miner Cave crawler (spider) Echo beast Mindstabber Soul eater Windigo Mimic Ghost Dire bat Giant rat Thanks :) Troy Title: Re: [The Coyote Lode] I Need Monsters!

Not a bone golem as in a construct built by a wizard, but rather a shambling mass of bone in the rough shape of a large bull or rhino-esque thingy that was born in some cursed civil war battlefield. In every fantasy game, there's this sword that's sentient. How about a sentient six-shooter that yearns for bloooood? Dire tumbleweed To take some inspiration from Jeepers Creepers, a lone gunman who stalks the prairie, looking for victims so he can mend his torn human skin coat.

Those are some good suggestions, guys. I hadn't thougjt of using a lot of amimal imagery in the game. But ghost bears, white bison, amd the creatures you mentioned fit perfectly!

Mad scientist Live Adventurer Frankenstein monster Imp Demon Devil Mercury-crazed priest Undead Soldier Mercenary/Bounty Hunter Coyote Undead coyote Scorpion Snake Undead snake Cave Siren Wisp Undine (a mimic that looks like fresh water instead of treasure) Gila monster Undead iguana Vulture Undead vulture Undead prairie dog Cave fisher (puts a trap that looks like fresh food, instead of a glowing ball) Rock worms (tunnel through rock like it is loose soil) That is all the Cave/Deseert related badness I can think of without channeling the monster manual, lol Title: Re: [The Coyote Lode] I Need Monsters!
