Next:  Worm swarms!  The best way to get rid of dungeon invaders is to send carnivorous worm swarms after them.  Here are a few!

Right:

To keep it in one entry, here's the explanation (previously included in my WIP(s) thread):

These creatures have no fixed form. While they can appear to have eyes and drooling mouths, they can neither see or use their mouth to eat. They simply adopt this sickening form to strike fear or madness into their victims.

They spend their time on the ceiling of confined spaces, such as corridors, sensing the movement of creatures below.

If an individual person passes below them their prefered method of attack is  to drop on them, knocking them to the ground and suffocating them before absorbing them into their bodies and disolving them.
If there is more than one creature, they will often drop in front of them blocking the corridor. When the "dungeoneers" turn to retrace their steps they will find another blob behind them blocking their escape. The blobs will then gradually move towards each other and seeking to engulf their victims. [It is not actually certain whether this is carried out by two blobs or whether these creatures are able to divide into two and then reform again].

I see it as a wandering monster and can give you my idea for stats and special abilities for Dungeon World if you want.

Title: Giant Scorpion
Post by: Annatar on 06 June 2011, 07:42:42 PM
My first try at sculpting a whole miniature :)

With its tough armor, vile sting and brutal pincers it may be a nasty surprise for some foolhardy adventurers :d

Furthermore, the anubis troops and mummies needed some company.

1. C r y p t   S c o r p i o n

The black coloured crypt scorpion lives in small swarms. It dwells only in dry underground places and is highly aggressive. It can endure long terms (centuries?) without food in a hibernation like state. It has special sensors which acitivate the scorpion, when it senses vibrations. Once activated the creature is determined to make a kill since it can return to "hibernation" state only once more. If a swarm manages to make a kill, the creatures reproduce and die. Their offspring feeds on the prey, grows till sexually mature and looks for new victims or- if no prey is available-  enters the "hibernation" state. The green fluorescent poison of the crypt scorpion is also a powerful acid and prized by alchemists. After being stung by a crypt scorpion the best thing to do is to burn out the wound, survive and tend the burn later. The only known antitoxin is the blood of young scorpions. Its carapace is often used by armorers as a basic material. The name derives from the fact, that the scorpion is often used as tomb or crypt guardians by the builder of such places.

Title: Wendigo, Yeti, Sasquatch, Abominable Snowman, Frosttroll
Post by: Annatar on 09 June 2011, 08:49:47 AM
Something hairy this way comes....

2. F r o s t t r o l l

The frosttroll is a tall an massive, hairy humanoid creature, which normally lives in the nothern polar reaches of the known world. However some specimen have been to travel south in long harsh winters and take dwelling in remote mountain regions. The frosttroll is a "lone wolf", therefore meeting several of this kin is a rare occasion and takes only place for territorial fights or mating. It has a very low intelligence and acts in most ways more like an animal than a intelligent being. Due to this is seldom used as guard by evil masters. Other creature normally shun the presence of a frosttroll because it magically reduces the temperature of its enviroment. So in temperate zones the well educated and prepared adventurer is warned when in a dungeon complex the temperature suddenly drops to near zero degrees. The frosttroll prefers living food and therefor it not infrequent, that after you have survived an encounter with a frostroll you can find an unfortunate or rather fortunate deepfrosted vicitm in its lair. One might think using fire against a frosttroll is a good idea, but it only leads to a frenzy by the troll. Its horrns of a make a nice trophy. Some northern barbarian tribes are infamous for brewing a strong liquor from the troll blood. It has no use for riches, so you can sometimes find wonderful items cast aside in its lair.

Here is my first entry into the contest

I am calling it a Bore Wyrm. These large creatures tunnel through the earth in search of precious metals. These are consumed by the Bore Wyrms, so if you were to defeat one, there would be a hoarde treasure to find inside of one! They have very strong jaws with very sharp tearing teeth, they can also create a burst of electricty that emanates from the front. When they are encountered in the dungeon, it has usually tunneled into a dungeon treasure chamber. So following a Bore Wyrm tunnel could be very lucrative or foolish, depending on the DM's whim  ;)

Let me just say that some things are elder than others...

I made the Elder Thing with two different head options.  I can't decide which I like better, the smaller one or the larger one.

With the smaller head:
(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p435/BlackTemplarDad/Black%20Templar/Warmaster/Demon%20Army/DSC_0043.jpg)(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p435/BlackTemplarDad/Black%20Templar/Warmaster/Demon%20Army/DSC_0034.jpg)

With the larger head:
(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p435/BlackTemplarDad/Black%20Templar/Warmaster/Demon%20Army/DSC_0039.jpg)(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p435/BlackTemplarDad/Black%20Templar/Warmaster/Demon%20Army/DSC_0037.jpg)

I'll point out that the head and wings are tacked on using blu-tac (somehow we came to call it monkey snot).  You know, that sticky,tacky putty sold so that you can hang posters on walls without pins.

Enjoy (in a non-Euclidean sort of way)!

This is an Orb Beast. It has razor sharp teeth and six long tentacles. It is not known whether the beast floats or walks on it's tentacles as it appears to do both. The beast normally finds a dark corner or ceiling to hide in the shadows. It will normally wait until a lone party member is either separated or wandered off on their own to attack. It will normally attack if detected too then take off to hide again. If it can it will drag the prey to it's lair to be consumed. It's lair is normally a ledge or opening high on the wall or ceiling of the dungeon. It's lair is normally littered with body remains and parts of body remains of the unfortunate.

Title: Kraken Mage
Post by: Annatar on 18 July 2011, 08:14:42 AM
3. T h e   K r a k e n   M a g e

The kraken people are a factual extinct race. Nowadays you can only encounter individual sorcerers of their kind, which - by use of arcane rituals - travel through time for unknown reasons. These diabolical evil geniuses try avoid any kind attention, so that the guardians of time, the gods or whoever do not interfere with their malicious plans. When these alien minds have reached their obscure goals they perform a vile act of sorcery, which allows them to return to their time/plane of existence but results in the death of everyone hundreds of yards (meters :) ) near this creature. They are aided by beasts, which are spawn of their kind.

"With it's bear pranks, lion body and the face of a starving man the Manticore features a gruesome visual nature. His scorpion-like tail is protected by thick armor and difficult to evade, it says those hit will not die but only lose control of their body - while being eaten alife. This unnatural predator's lair is among the places even most knights and heroes would avoid, since an encounter with the beast always brings harm."

I imagine him leaping forward, grabbing it's prey, then forming an overhead crescent-shape to deliver it's lethal sting. Hand for scale purposes, 15mm² base; GS, Milliput, steel-wire. Was fun to sculpt and my first in this scale.

"Appearing as a human-sized abomination of sand and stone, the tile golem's humble appearance poorly gives his true nature credit.
He is a master shapeshifter and more of a dungeon poltergeist than a true golem. In fact, he is very alike to a djinn. Whatever his focus is, he protects it with all means. The floor is his skin and the walls his ears and eyes. He emerges from the ground as quick as he disappears again, forms shield and blades of rock or becomes a living wall, frustrating a desperate escape. Whoever smites him merely delays his resurrection. The only way of getting rid of this danger is stealing or destroying his focus, thus becoming his master or destroyer. Of course, he will always try to regain control."

GS, plasticard, Milliput - same base as the manticore
