THE MONSTERS

To suggest monsters for The Library to have manifested, please remember that monsters cannot be characters that could be applied for. They should be a race or breed that exists within a canon with about the intelligence of a beast. Certain allowances will be made, but mods may have to ask for more information before allowing a monster to be present within The Library.

Powers: Frog like lashing poison tongue, spiked tail and wicked set of jaws make this beast a monster. I'd make it smaller than what it says on the Wiki.

Poison headcrabs have armor, which make them difficult to kill as well. Demeanor: Headcrabs will pursue any targets they deem as suitable hosts but they are almost entirely attracted to human hosts and humanoid like hosts.
