And yes, here I go, having just woken up (and doing my daily FFBE run) and thinking again.

So this latest bit of thought has me wondering... If you were a monster in an RPG, be it on the side of good or evil, what kind of monster would you be?

And before anyone says it, yes I know that humans are the real monsters in these stories so they don't count.

Edit- And the monster can also be a side character or something like a merchant, should you like to be. Just not a god.

Some fallen from grace dark knight, because they're uberly cool and so charismatic, the blackguard is one hell of a kit/class in Icewindale, loved playing a death tank, slowly hacking puny orcs to pieces and watch them flee in panic under the effect of aura of despair.

Something really awfully low-level which the characters only grind for a few minutes before moving on.

Probably some kind of banshee. Though I wish I could have been some kind of skeletal horror with dozens of limbs and blades everywhere instead.

Need I say? A dragon of course.

Otherwise, some kind of powerful necromancer/mage. Something that isn't invincible, but incredibly powerful with an undead army of minions doing my bidding. Muahahahahahahah!

And why not? After all, Terry Pratchett made a vegetarian werewolf for the Night Watch in his Discworld series.

I want to be that annoying gremlin who goes "hit and run", dies in one hit and does barely any damage. On one hand you have important things to do and don't want to waste your time, but thanks to that little bastard you can't really do anything useful 'cause every time he hits you combat mode starts. And of course, for some reason he's unbelievably hard to hit.

Slime (if it can change form to look like other creatures at will, such as in some anime), or a Dragon (powerful, long lived, awesome looking, whats not to love?)

Monster wise I'd totally either be a Dragon or a Kobold. Because you can't beat them in awesomeness.

As to my role in the world...hmm. I want to be someone the hero is forced to interact with as much as often, so probably either the shopkeeper with the best stuff or the main quest giver. (Or even the sidekick who is only along for the ride so the hero can loot tons of places for me to get rich off of) Anything to make the "hero" talk to me as much as physically possible. Simply so I can chat shite about their supposed accomplishments. Like, this self proclaimed hero comes waltzing in, demanding respect because they say they will beat the big bad. I'm having none of that till they actually do so.

I will belittle and mock their every move and decision right up until they actually do grand and worthwhile things. (Clearing rats from a cellar does not a hero make) That or they spend tons of money in my store, where I will then do exactly nothing different, except to do so in a more friendly and jovial manner so that they like my company and will spend more money on my store. Lizard monster needs himself a huge swanky mansion to live in after all. And they aren't cheap!

I'd turn the clock back 20+ years and be an orc again in Ultima Online! Hoowah Shadowclan!

A path-blocking one that disappears when you advance the plot enough.

Probably a Leshay. I am a munchkin at heart and you name it this race has it.

  • Immortal, you can not die of old age, and so unkillable, you survived an apocalypse the destroyed your entire universe
  • powerful: Leshay can charm a person my looking at them, their least powerful weapon is probably a +10 radiant burst long sword of instagib, there magic grows stronger the longer they live.
  • Intelligent: being around sense the beginning of time of the forgotten realms have given the Leshay lots of time to learn things. they know every language and spells mortal have long forgot.

A "sigh" monster who will sigh every time the hero encounters him while saying things like:

  • "You again"
  • "Let's get this over with"

While fighting me, if the hero reaches less than 10% health, I will leave mid-fight saying "you lose, now leave me alone" or something

That's all I can think of right now. Now leave me alone :D

As already has happened: The Emporium Trading House, a cannibal trader, eating alive all other merchants and taking over all markets ;)
