>MockingVine
>Also called "speaking snare"
Its a creepy ivy plant with red flowers on it that have the unique ability to vibrate at most frequencies that animals (and humans!) make noise in.
It "hears" by picking up vibrations from these flowers, then vibrating it back thus repeating noises that it has "heard" in order to lure in unsuspecting prey.

Its carnivorous, covered in hooked thorns, and can move well enough to grab anyone who steps on it, usually killing the person or animal by bleeding them to death as they struggle more and more the serrated thorns bleed them out.

Some variants have paralytic venoms in their thorns or paralytic fruits that smell delicious.

So basically, if you are in the woods and you hear someone speaking, make sure its actually a person and watch your fucking step.

A land based cephalopod that uses skeletons and freshly killed bodies like a hermit crab uses old shells.
adventurers call them 'puppeteers'
They are mostly harmless unless threatened in which case they will puppet the body to lash out at you, and if you damage the body too much they will either scuttle away or try to attack you by strangulation.

I mean, the vine repeats the noises that get it the most food.
So most of the time they eat animals by mimicking mating calls and such.
If they detect human speech they will repeat human speech they have heard.
So if you are just out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and you hear someone shouting "Help!" or "Hello there!" over and over its probably not human.

If you want to get clever with it sure, you could "train" the vines to say things by shouting something at them then throwing meat at the vines until they do nothing but say that particular phrase.

Also, we got crocodiles, big ones.

None of you faggots ever talk to each other, all you do is throw out stupid trivia like 'the crocodiles in my setting eat gold and fart mercury' or 'the giants in my setting sit in clouds and use lightning bolts as toothpicks' for three hundred posts over the course of two months. All of these disconnected facts aren't interesting, especially since none of you even attempt to discuss how the ideas could be used in any game.

Dust Strangler, a bizarre cephalopod analogue that can spend decades in suspended animation in the absence of water. They typically live in underground rivers and aquifers. Possessing no skeleton, they can squeeze to the surface through even tiny cracks to hunt. Their skin is capable of changing colour and texture to hide and its tough leathery nature holds onto moisture well. If cut off from hydration for too long they go dormant until prey is detected. Once disturbed they lash out with their tentacles and inject specialized probosci that line their two largest tentacles once the prey animal is subdued. They then drain the captured food animal of all water and nutrients. This surfeit is then use this to move as far as possible before going into dormancy and repeating the process or they find a body of water. Most of them are fairly small, not much bigger than a dog, but given time they can grow to considerable size. The largest ones are found near the Sea of O’mehs. These leviathans are capable of even bringing down a Magmapanther and are the apex predators of the poisoned sea.

You approach a woman sitting on the floor. She has pale skin and appears pregnant, but gaunt, and partly rotted. It soon becomes clear from the stench that she is undead. When you alert her, she rushes toward you, scratching at you with her claws. Once she is dead, a smaller version of her tears her way out of her stomach in a wave of ichor. The horrifying sight forces you to make a saving throw or be shaken. This 4-foot-tall monster attacks until killed; it dies quicker, having half as many hit points. Once it is dead, yet another slightly-smaller monster unfolds from within the belly of this one, to attack further. This continues, the attackers growing smaller and smaller, the space seeming insufficient for how large they are, until a tiny hand reaches from the last one, too weak and pathetic to attack.

It's edgy but it really freaked out my group the first time I used it. Partly because they didn't know if the "nesting doll" effect was ever going to stop.

I had it be the result of when a zombie plague infected a pregnant woman. It had a weird effect. Unironically was going to use it in another campaign, it was even in the dungeon, then my friend who was in that game got his girlfriend pregnant so I removed it because I thought that'd be kinda fucked up.

The Surgeoness Crab is pretty fucked up. It's a roughly hand sized crab that has scaple pincers that secrete a numbing ooze, and it's spit is an antiseptic coagulant.
It hunts by snipping the tendons of large prey, immobilizing them and allowing the colony to systematically strip the creature while keeping it alive and fresh for as long as possible.

Liminal Tigers

Created to be terror weapons. They are one eyed, monsterous tigers that have overgrown fangs jutting from their mouths on top of their regular pair of teeth. They are intelligent sadist who stalk and harass their victims until they are driven to paranoid panic before they strike and do this with their ability to "teleport" around corners where their body can fit and appearing around another corner.

If discovered, they will stand and fight to death and refuse to be captured or tamed opting to kill themselves if they cannot escape.

While often solitary, siblings will often live and hunt together until the need to breed pulls them apart to go find mates.

Stinging nettles
a relatively normal name but they would drop your IQ a little if you're stung by them, and some int points of it's a enough. They would crop up near societies and pose problems, so people would try to get rid of them after some kids got turned into retards
However, all the intelligence would go into the core of the stinging nettles and form into a shambler, which is just a big plant creature that would be vastly more intelligent than normal people due to amassing intelligence, and would know spells/secrets that a creature of it's expected power really shouldn't and cause major problems

As the other anon said it's Adventure Quest.

Adventure Quest was a flash game in the mid 2000s that was fairly popular famous for its one time payment model with a premium currency that could be bought with real money or earned in game.
It competed with Runescape in the earliest days thanks to cheaper buy-in than a paid monthly membership.

It was hosted on a website called Battleon and they would eventually go on to make other games in a sort of shared universe with overlapping characters and ideas. Dragon Fable was mentioned already but there was also Adventure Quest Worlds the mmo, Mech Quest the short lived sci-fi version, and I think another one whose name is escaping me.
There was even an Adventure Quest 3D released just a few years ago.
The company that made it is still around, not sure how they keep the lights on but they still exist.

As for Adventure Quest, it was very primitive and had a lot of early 2000s weeb energy and lol random humor.
Whether this is a positive or a negative is pretty divisive.

That's the longest short version I can give I guess. It's very much a "you had to be there" kind of thing.

truesight isn't just "good vision." it's "can bypass all illusion, stealth, and trickery, even seeing through divine-level spellcasting." typically reserved for high-level angels & demons & similar things. fancy vision is also almost always 60ft or 120ft.

They were just a regular snake in the books, if a huge and intelligent one, the anime changed them into a hydra for some reason.

Most, if not all the ghost types are made from killing humans and turning them into more ghost types.

Then you have that one bug type that if you kept an open slot in your roster the shed skin would reanimate as a bug/ghost pokemon

The problem with borrowing from Pokemon is it’s so culturally omnipresent that you’re very likely to be clocked on it. Of course, it’s also so generally accepted there’s a good chance people won’t mind.

Either the Zobirah or the Lustrous Horror.

The Zobirah is a gorilla like plant who is extremely territorial (even against other of its kind) and hunts living creatures just to soak its body in blood, which it needs to sustain itself, as it doesn't have a mouth but just a single multi-faceted eye.
Cannot be controlled by mind effects and it hits like a truck, it can also use crude clubs the size of tree trunks and if he does his attacks have a chance equal to the damage inflicted on a percentile to break your spine, leaving your character helpless and for all intent and purpose dead.

The Lustrous Horror is an aquatic monster the size of a small shark with a sharp chitinous proboscis, which it uses to drain blood from creatures nearby.
Their backs are shelled and it is so sturdy it works as a plate mail, its underbelly is exposed but when hit there it automatically retaliates with a tail swipe, its tail adorned with a couple sharp blades that cut through metal like butter, it doesn't use its tail much otherwise.
They aren't aggressive when sated but can drink an elephant's weight in blood, so they usually end up a bit damaging to nearby ecosystems when one is found, they can also migrate when a pond/lake/river is void of prey and move on land to find another place to eat from.

Both are the equivalent of bulettes in terms of strength, maybe a bit more, they are however actual fauna and flora of the setting, rather than being magical monsters.

I’m quite partial to Rheeah’s three-headed design from the anime, sue me.
He’s the one monster design from the anime I genuinely prefer over the original, simply because it gives him a bit more of that otherworldly flare that the rest of the headliner monsters have.

I personally quite like The Fear from DQ2 and The Grey Tide from DQ3
The Fear is an incredibly basic concept, tentacle monster, but the execution just works, especially as a neat inversion of The Glus, The Fear being a sessile mollusk fused into the stone that hunts with touch, as opposed to a mobile mollusk that hunts with touch that fuses YOU into the stone. Makes me wonder if whatever species The Fear is happens to be the natural predator of The Glus, or potentially vice versa.
As for the Grey Tide, that’s moreso as a final plot twist to the greater Four Sisters plot and as a climax to Deltora Quest as a whole. It’s the closest thing we’ll ever get to Malverlain’s bitch-ass appearing in person (anime nonwithstanding), an all-consuming wave of stagnation and death, and the seven dragons assembling to take it out with our trio upon their backs, all while dueling with the seven Ak-Baba is an amazing setpiece to envision

One monster I made in a more magic hevay game. It is a type of mimic that imitates basic household cloth. Blankets, towels, place/table mats. Anything like that. They strike usually when people least expect it. A whole town was infested by them and the players stayed the night there.

That's an interesting possible connection between the Glus and the Fear, but how the latter would have ended up in the underground oceans is a question.

What about the other book series in the same universe, like Rowan of Rin or the Three Doors? The Ice Creepers from the former are particularly terrifying, as are the Skimmers from the latter.

The Ice Creepers freaked me the fuck out as a youngin. Beasts as large and fearsome as they have absolutely no reason to work in a hive, and yet they do. The mental image of these things swarming, carving through rock and ice as if it were water, yet so cold that even a glancing touch threatens frostbite still lives rent free in my head, and they remain the most iconic creature from RoR to me that’s not the Bukshah.
I don’t remember Three Doors all too well, mostly because I only ever owned The Golden Doors, but the Skimmers didn’t do too much for me. They’re certainly iconic, yes, but they just… didn’t hit for me, for whatever reason.

Basically Ergot on steroids. If you eat it, the stuff has some very useful health benefits but at the same time it also makes you hallucinate like the worst trip ever. Imaginary dream eating monsters can visit you and start feasting on your thoughts and if you eat too much, those same creatures can begin to rip themselves out of your mind and manifest into reality using your hallucinations as a portal from their dimension. You die in agony of course and however many your dying mind fixated on then get to run amok in whatever form you hemorrhaged them out.

A sleeping Ent was once upon a time used as a reliable hangman's tree. Overtime it soaked up all that rot and woke up insane and necromantic in nature. It then proceeded to raise dead wherever it went but these undead were trees and plants instead of animals and people. Eventually it was slain but the damage was done and now wherever a trace of it wandered, plants and trees will grow gnarled and bent seeping with poisons and death with some gaining a will of their own that is utterly evil.

Fractalworms are a family of nematodes that arrange themselves into expanding patterns based on ambient resonant frequencies. Unfortunately, they're decomposers, and the patterns they tend to arrange in with the humming of other insects is what the earliest necromancers based their reanimation glyphs on, because naturally the geometry they form attracts and circulates the Breath of Thanatos and creates the shittiest kind of zombie, the Wild Undead

Heat-seeking snowflakes. In arctic regions there exists a sort of vamperic Eumetazoa which cluster together as they float on cold drift winds by the billions. They look indistinguishable from falling snow at first, until they swarm on anything alive leaving only desiccated husks to be buried in the ice.

Needless to say my cold regions are lifeless deathtraps outside creatures that have adapted to not produce heat signatures at all.

You can bump up the size a bit, but not to normal fantasy levels, since normal-size mantises are a bit unreasonably small to plan an encounter around. Fist-sized would be enough.
Since mantises are very aggressive, there could be a group of these mantises in an area, extremely agitated as they are in their mating season, and the party has to treat them more as an obstacle than an encounter. Maybe they are somewhere with rough, dangerous terrain? Or perhaps there is another enemy that the party would want to avoid, and dealing with the relatively weak mantises would alert that more dangerous enemy?

I have an infectious disease which slowly liquefies its victim ... from the outside. It starts harmless enough, with the victim's skin not being able to hold fur or hair any more, but soon enough it starts to fall off at the lightest touch, at which point unprotected contact with it means very likely getting infected as well. At the end, all that's left of the victim is bones and a large stinking puddle of highly contagious biomatter.
And yes, you should most definitively kill it with fire.
