What Creature from DnD would you base a quest around?

[blitzschlag]

sahuagin





























no, wait...

[dennison_brillo]

one of the best in dnd so much trying to kill them

[Anthios888]

[Gremmlynn]

Hmm. I would have to say the Demon Prince Orcus from 1e.

Got to love a mob that has a 50% chance of just killing a character on hitting it. Whereas the other 50% it completely deletes it.

Already been done :

... official AD&D module for character levels 18-100

(I actually *ran* this btw, though I can't remember what level the characters were at the time -- probably lvl 25-30 or so, but possibly 20-25 -- ?)

(Oh, and it's the only official module ever published where "Tarrasque" is just another Wandering Monster )

[kelemvelor]

The Flumph!

Or maybe even...the chest that attacks; Mimic

[FlameDiablo]

Terrasque

Dragons, yes more dragons

[Mathieugh]

Here is a list of what not to use
http://www.gnomestew.com/gming-advic...idest-monsters

My all time favorite was a cambion. Half something and half demon prince. Half elf half demon prince, son of Graz'zzt.
Talk about malevolent. Jeez.

But, as far as DDO goes, I'd use a balor. It's lack of presence is disturbing. Another good choice would be an astral behemoth, the githyanki or githzerai, etc.

Draeden's are nice though, especially when you want to start a new game. So are star dragons but only when you want to move to a whole new setting, as there may not be much left. Black Balls (http://pandius.com/blkball.html) are when you want to get a whole new gaming group.

Aeolwind, rep for you. I couldn't stop laughing through that article. I hope the Devs see your post and realize what not to do!

I doubt it'll happen, but I would love to see the Tarrasque. I'd love to fight it, but players should never be able to kill it. How do you stop something that is unkillable? The goal should be to lure it back to its den and put it back to sleep. Heck, maybe that's what's kept in the deep freeze on Korthos and not just some big troll.

Feed him enough halflings and maybe he goes away

that would be fun

This. And kobolds

[Aeolwind]

It's not. Never had a party live through Orcus. DM just rolls a 20 sided dice as a token to the players, he should just roll a d6 and percentile and tell them who died lol.

That module gave rise to a Dragon magazine article highlighting magic spells for those levels like "Call Planetoid", "Ethereal Rolling Pin", "Summon Dragon Knight (which summoned a 50th level fighter riding and 200hd red dragon or some such...oh and he was wielding a Dragon Lance)."

[Pattykakes]

Umber hulks!
Goblins! (are there ANY goblins in this game?!)
Salamanders, either kind is fine.

I always hated fighting Shambling Mounds...

[VonBek]

Githyanki, Githzerai... - with Eberron's extra-planar happenings, some might leak in.

[Chai]

A balor boss would be cool. Holy cold iron pure good weapons might go up in value.

How about some goblins.

Centaur.

Ettin.

Lycanthrope. Half shark-alligator, half man.
