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.


Celtic mythology
Dullahan
Appearance: A man in dark armor, with a sword at his side, and carrying a whip made out of a human's spine, carrying his head under one arm and riding a great horse. Sometimes they drive a wagon made out of bones.
Demeanor: When the Dullahan stops riding, someone is about to die, when they call that person's name all but the strongest fall over dead. They have been known to throw blood in the eyes of those who see them about their business.
Powers: Power over life and death.

wiki page


Tonberry
Appearance: A child-sized lizard wearing a brown robe and carrying a lantern and a small knife

wiki page



Greek Mythology
Harpy
Appearance: A huge bird with the chest and body of a lovely woman

Powers: Flight and a razor sharp wit.
wiki page

wiki page



Jurassic Park: Chaos Effect
Dinosaur, Compstegnathus
Appearance: It's body looks similar to that of the Compsoganathus, a small theropod carnivore, but it's much larger. It has spikes on hit's back and tail somewhat similar to a stegosaurus, and colorization of that of an african tree frog. It has a projectile spit and a lashing tongue filled with a paralyzing poison.
Demeanor: Combine speed, aggression and a piranha like appetite and you have this beast.
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. About the size of a Deinohnychus would be just fine.
wiki page


Tanaconda
Appearance: It's an anaconda with claws. 18 feet long, it is able to constrict large prey as well as grasp branches for better maneuverability. It's colorization is red, yellow and black.
Demeanor: As if it's any surprise, these dinos were created to be mean and cruel little monsters. Or big. In this case, big.
Powers: Claws, teeth and constricting body.
wiki page


Deinohnycanis
Appearance: A fair mix of a Dire Wolf and Deinonychus. It sports fur like feathers on it's felt rather than scales but probably shouldn't go around petting this thing. It's partially bipedal, with a long gait. Like a deinohnychus it has the familiar dino head and those sickle like hind claws.
Demeanor: They're aggressive hunters, much like wolves and raptors are, but they are capable of being trained at a young age.
Powers: Big teeth but diminished fore claws.
wiki page


Dinosaur, Pachysaurolophus
Appearance: Like a cross between a pachycephalasaurus and a parasaurolophus. A large duck bill type dinosaur with a hard head and a razor sharp crest.

Powers: Size and an attitude along with it's crest might make dealing with it fairly cumbersome.
wiki page


Dinosaur, Raptor Alpha
Appearance: An enhanced Deinohnychus which has coloring better suited to operations in the dead of night. Smarter and deadlier as well.

Half-Life
Antlion
Appearance: Antlions are large insect like creatures that burrow under the sand and in caves. Much like an ant their appearance varies between their class and types. Soldiers are angular and dangerous with claws and mandibles. Guards are huge monstrosities that use it's huge head to crush their enemies after a charge. Workers are subterranean and pale, but have chemical shots that they can burn enemies with as they guard the brood.
Demeanor: They're very territorial and will fight off or prey on anything that comes into their territory.
Powers: Depends on the type. Workers have Chemical/poison shots they can shoot from a ranged distance. Soldiers attack with their front legs and mandibles, and they can fly. Guards and guardians attack with sheer blunt force and grubs do very little.
wiki page


Barnacle
Appearance: Looks like a large worm attached to a ceiling. It lowers it's sticky tongue down to it to pull prey up and swallow it whole. Sometimes they hang around in clusters to share prey or have a second opinion on whether or not something constitutes as prey. The only way they have to sense is by tasting something with their mouths.
Demeanor: They not to more menacing than any other mindless animal that works only to eat. If you're not food it will spit it out. Unarmed prey is best.
Powers: They have a sticky rope like appendage that wraps around it's prey and pulls it back up so it can swallow it, usually in one bite, stretching it and dissolving it in strong stomach acids that fall out when it's killed.
wiki page


Headcrabs and Zombies
Appearance: Four legged masses of flesh with beaks inside of their bodies to latch onto the victim's face with. Zombies are he human hosts which are controlled by the headcrab, and like zombies they vary based on type. Normal headcrabs produce normal zombies and they're fat little critters who waddle around on their hind legs with their front legs up and armed usually. With that posture they can better pounce on their targets. Fast and poison headcrabs are sleeker models of the normal, with fast skittering around and usually hard to hit. 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. The combine have programmed them to be attracted to humans as hosts. Zombies are mindless killing machines and will attack unprovoked by may not be aware of your presence until they see or hear you.
Powers: All headcrabs once attached to a host's head will make them into mindless puppets. Normal headcrabs simply make a normal zombie, fast make fast zombies, and poison crabs will make a poison zombies which attract other poison headcrabs onto the same host.
