[Call for Suggestions] Let's Make Some Monsters!

Skelementals. Many undead are animated by necromantic energy. But some wiley wizards can use other magical energies. Skeletons crackling with lightning or held together by tendrils of flame.

Steven Francis

Some sort of vengeful spirit to bring back against the murder hobo party, undead versions of other monsters. Undead goo of necromancers that just dont get it right

Wilf Chapman-Gandy

A good-aligned undead that in life was a hero of the people who swore in death to return when they're needed most to defend the people.

MC

Undead ooze that injects itself into a creatures bloodstream. Tends to splatter all over the place when the infected creature is slashed or pierced.

My first thought was, of course, Trogdor. But that's probably protected IP at this point. My second thought was something akin to Jason Corder's amazing suggestion. It was an amalgam of a plumed bird's head (I was thinking peacock) atop a worm-like body (segmented). Part of me thought wings only, part of me thought it would have 6 appendages (akin to an ant) but I'm not sure if I wanted arms & legs, legs only, tentacles, or some combination of such.

DM Dave

This exists. It’s in Saltmarsh 😅

Nicolas Desjardins

"Before you stand a hulking mass of bones and flesh, amalgamated together from the reanimated corpses from some poor, resentful mass grave."

Michael Bennett

An undead mind mage left on a hanging tree is freed when his body rots and falls away from his skull and spine, and seeks out those responsible.

Jason Corder

Large turtle/centipede monstrosity. Interlocking segments of shells, propelled by 20 strong scuttling turtle legs. Massive snapping maw.

Gillian Brunet

A(n un)dead idea: incorporeal spirit that forces those in its vicinity to make a wisdom save or accept as truth some (demonstrably false, potentially dangerous) maxim specific to the spirit. Deals psychic damage, incorporeal with lots of resistances, reconstitutes after a time if destruction conditions are not met. Potentially controlled by necromancers or other evil adepts... could be used to make a party vulnerable or maneuver it into traps.

Darion Nutter

A group of hiveminded monsters that spread and expand their Hivemind with a dangerous mutative disease

A skeletal creature that is a composite of smaller skeletons. Each time it gets hit, bones shower down, springing into little skeletons.
