Video game creatures

Noticed that there seems to be a lot of aquatic monsters shown form ff3. All of them are awsome so far. On a semi related note, nice sucplts as usual macguyver.

Yeah, it's a shame the underwater monsters are so weak, I'd much rather grind with them than the generic human enemies in the Crystal Tower.

EDIT: MacGuyver, how much would it cost to buy a Hermit or Mandrake from you? Here's some Amano art to sweeten the deal. Also, some more analysiseses:

Slime/Red Marshmallow/Black Flan


I like the disgruntled expression, and the way he sort of looks like a living blanket.

Tarantula/Darklegs


Love those spindly legs! I also like the distressingly human teeth. Unfortunately, this design was completely butchered in the DS version:

Why, Squeenix?! Why?!

Harpy/Dira


I was originally going to write this off as a generic sexy monster chick, but there's actually some pretty cool details, like the tentacle-like hair and the wings instead of arms. It really looks like a bird that just sort of evolved humanoid features.

Gargoyle/Rock Gargoyle


Nothing much to say.

Chimera/Chimera Mage


It's a... chimera. Nothing to separate it from other chimeras. The Mage's palette is pretty cool.

Demon Horse/Nightmare


It's a fairly standard horse enemy, but the Nightmare does have that awesome golden palette.

Bovian/Minotaur


Nothing much of note, but I do like the expression.

Dread Knight/Gold Knight


I like to think he's sort of flying around using his feet as boosters. FWWWWWWWWWWSH

And of course, more gold.

Abtu/Anet


I love the horn, it makes it look like some sort of demonic narwhal. Its mindless eyes are also cool.

Kagura/Seahorse/King Seahorse


I like the horn on this one, too. I also love the similarities between the Kagura and Seahorse palette, and of course there's that amazing gold palette. I have no idea why I like that one so much.

Charybdis/Remora


I love the camouflaged look, this guy kind of looks like it could fit into real-world ecology. I also love Remora's palette.

Sea Witch/Mermaid


Though the sprites are fairly uninspired, Amano's original art does have an excellent cybernetic bent, and I don't know why they decided to drop it:



Ologhai/Plancti


I love the monstrous face, tentacles instead of legs, and odd square build. Takes "crab monster" in the best possible direction.

Kelpie/Sea Lion


Based on a dumb pun, but I like the jewelery. Lends them an air of civility.

Aegir/Agaliarept


Mostly speaks for itself, but I like the asymmetrical eyes. Almost seems like a more powerful Carbuncle.

"Ah need a monstah ta clobbah dat der Kirbeh!"

Drawcia was one of my favorite parts of Canvas Curse, and Marx is one of my favorite bosses in the whole franchise. I'm a sucker for jester monsters.

Other bosses I like:

Chameleo Arm. The fact it changes colors in battle is a nice touch, but boy howdy is he is a pain to fight.

Computer Virus. You just gotta love a boss that mimics the turn-based RPG in games like this. That, and the fact the actual boss is the windows, and the monsters it spawns are just minions.

Squashini was my favorite boss in Epic Yarn. His boss fight was fairly inventive for this series, too.

Zero 2 is easily the most disturbing boss of any Kirby game. Its main attack is shooting globules of blood at you from its eye. It also looks like it's in constant pain, making it both pitiful and deeply unsettling.

And then there's its ominous, foreboding theme music:

For kids!

It's also an angelic being, which taught us all from a young age that those can be scary too.
I never got to fight him, I was always too busy going after the cards at the end of each level to notice the crystal shards hidden in puzzling places.
I wanted to know all the enemies more than I wanted to finish the game.

Hey, I'm gonna have to leave for class soon, but have a couple more FF3 monsters.

Kyklops/Cyclops


I like the vaguely befuddled look, but otherwise not much to say.

Boss Troll/Ogre/Fachan


Meh. Ogre has the gold palette.

Kraken/Cenchos


Much better! I like its monstrous face, and the mass of tentacles is always cool. Kraken is a boss character who you have to beat to get Jobs from the Water Crystal, and is notable for killing temporary party member Aria/Elia

Balor/Eater


Wonderfully monstrous. I love all the extraneous spikes, especially the "tusks". The Eater's red palette is cool as well.

Pterodactyl/Drake


Nice action pose, but not a lot to say otherwise.

Lilfut: While I appreciate the offer, my figures aren't for sale, nor am I interested in taking on any commissions.

Thanks for the link to the FF3 Amano artwork. It's a shame that all the monsters aren't represented, but it's cool to finally see more examples of his creature work from that game.

Eh, I got like a half-hour to kill.

Wyvern/Peryton


Fairly standard wyvern enemies. Nothing to see here.

Behemoth/King Behemoth


Pulled off the bestial look perfectly. Not a huge fan of the concept, but they did the best they possibly could with it. Like the King Behemoth's palette, too.

Dragon/Bahamut


Awwww yeah. Now THIS is a force to be reckoned with! Awesome scaly design, and the action pose is cool.

Silenus/Chronos


I like its hunched design, and the sword design is pretty cool.

Gaap/Bluck


Looks demonic and cthuloid. A lot of really cool details here.

Azrael/Haniel


YES! Oh my god, these are amazing. I like how the far right tentacle looks sickly and diseased. It's hard not to read the two mouths and one eye as a bizarre mockery of the human face, even though there's otherwise no resemblance. Also like Haniel's green eye.

Ouroboros/Greater Boros


Meh. Standard naga enemy. Greater Boros has the gold palette, at least.

Zombie Dragon/Bone Dragon


Love the diseased green coloration on the Zombie Dragon and the way the Bone Dragon is almost mossy-looking, and the way it resembles a snake is pretty cool. Pretty meh otherwise, though.

Death Claw/Iron Claws


Looks almost like a bizarre human experiment! I love the way the flesh is stretched over its claws. This is the only really cool FF3 enemy design to reappear in later games as a recurring miniboss or powerful enemy, which is cool.

(also someone please resize the massive image that forces me to tab over to the "edit" button)

Mists of Pandaria added all kinds of awesome monsters and races you can't play as.

Monkeymen, Fish people, Jade lion statue golem things, these fuckers

And some eastern-folklore inspired monsters



I love pandas and everything, but come on, Blizzard.. Let me be a bug... :c

Me and some of my friends who play WoW recently had a group rant about what the next player race(s) should be, and it was brought up that the Nerubians wouldn't be so far-fetched an idea since Wrath of the Lich King introduced a small sect of still-living Nerubians who are mostly-friendly and just trying to rebuild their old way of life.

They could even be like the Pandaren and choose either Alliance or Horde since the ones in Wrath were quest-givers to both factions.

I would probably sign onto a free trial account for WoW if I could play as a bug.
Of course I'd never even consider paying for it. That monthly pay thing is horse shit, especially since the game doesn't appeal to me artistically or in the field of play style.

I remember when the pandarians were just a April fools day joke by blizzard, fuck i am old.

The final boss of Chris' campaign in Resident Evil 6 is a small feat in 3d modeling and texture. Might be hard to see in the below vid but there is a lot going on with this guy.

I had forgotten how good this series of games actually looked.

But there isn't any boulder punching. NO SALE
